3 Ways to Celebrate National Car Care Month This April
Catch up on maintenance
The winters in Wilmington, North Carolina, may be mild, but that doesn’t mean your car’s components won’t be depleted once spring arrives. You’ll want to get your vehicle checked out and serviced by professionals so you can rest assured you’re ready for warm weather driving. Here are a few baseline things you can ask to have done:
- Oil change
- Brake inspection
- Tire pressure check and tire rotation
- Wiper blade replacement
- Air conditioning system assessment
Learn how to give your car a proper wash
Making sure your car runs like a winner is one thing, but making sure it looks like one is another altogether. You may be tempted to take your vehicle through an automatic car wash, but there are proven benefits to doing it yourself. Learning how to wash your car correctly makes all the difference. Here are some basic steps:
- Clean your car while it’s cool
- Give it a good rinse before you begin
- Use a car-specific cleaner
- Scrub with a non-abrasive towel or sponge
- Dry by hand
Plan a future outing
We can’t always plan where life will take us, but we can look ahead to brighter days full of adventures. There’s no better way to get your money’s worth out of your car than to drive it, and there’s no better excuse to drive your car than an outing. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a cross-country road trip, you owe it to yourself to get out and live it up.
