Are You Taking Care of Your Vehicle?

Your vehicle is your reward for working long days and getting things done. Be a part of keeping its gorgeous exterior and powerful performance lasting longer by staying mindful of these car care tips.

1. Pay Attention to Manufacturer Recommendations

We hear it all the time. But how often do we take it seriously? Service intervals, proper fueling, and even your windshield wipers all come with factory recommendations for optimal performance. So, if you want your machine to be in it for the long run, make sure it’s able to run long.

2. Use Proper Cleaning Products

You love your premium paint job and custom leather seats and want to keep them looking brand new as long as possible. Using the proper cleaning products is the best way to do that.

For example, using a high-quality carpet cleaner for your car’s floors will get those stains out and keep the carpet looking (and smelling) fresh. For seat stains and wear, use a dedicated leather cleaning solution and microfiber cloth for maximum impact. Wash the exterior often to keep it looking sleek throughout its lifetime.

3. Keep Your Tires On Point

You drive on them all day. They keep your car moving smoothly and you from sliding all over the road in less than optimum conditions. Checking the air pressure and keeping your eye on tread shrinkage (it’s recommended to replace them around 1.5mm of tread or less) will keep your drives smooth and safe.

4. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Your Wipers

Plan ahead for bad weather by keeping your wipers updated. The better the wipers, the better the visibility when you really need them. Nobody likes that streaky mess or grating sound across the windshield when the wipers are worn—especially when it inhibits your sight line and causes less than ideal driving situations.

By keeping up with these few easy-to-do tips, you’ll get the most bang for your hard-earned buck and keep your vehicle looking new and lasting longer. Schedule a service with us here at Buerkle Acura or ask us any questions you may have. We are happy to help.
