Is Your Ride Suffering Because of the Pandemic?
Whether you begin to venture out more because of lifted stay-at-home orders, or you will stay at home for a while longer, making sure that your vehicle is kept in good shape can go a long way to preserving its lifespan and limit the number of expensive repairs that may be needed. Proper car care, which includes maintaining a mobile car wash and detailing, keeping your tires pumped, and changing your oil among other things, are all crucial to ensure that your car also survives the pandemic.
Change your oil, even if COVID is stopping you from driving regularly
As temperature changes start to occur, oil can deteriorate in cars that are not used. Regardless of what the mile recommendations are, you must remember to change your oil at least every 6 months.
Clean your car to prevent the spread of germs
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, people have been encouraged to regularly wash their hands and clean all their household surfaces; however, your car is often an overlooked place that is teeming with germs. Even if you do not use your car as often as you once did, make sure that your door handles and interior are clean.
Don’t neglect mobile detailing services
It may sound crazy, but neglecting the proper car care even during a pandemic such as COVID-19 can be risky not only for the appearance, of your car, but for its value, comfort, and overall function.
Make Sure Car is Ready for the Road
Lastly, make sure to follow all the above before removing your car from the garage. These practices are recommended even when you use your car, as it can prevent a trip to your mechanic. So, whether you are staying at home or practicing social distancing, always make sure that both you and your car stay healthy and safe.
