Keeping your Honda in immaculate condition will not save you money but it will actually make you money down the road. When a car is well maintained a driver avoids many expensive repairs and the car will be in better condition which means it’s resell value will increase tremendously.
An important way of maintaining your car’s condition is to clean it regularly. Shampoo the carpet and upholstery and scrub the tires. Clean the engine bay and under the car. Doing a thorough cleaning job will not only have your car looking better, but it may also alert you to problems you otherwise hadn’t noticed.
For the interior, the vocal point is the steering wheel and dashboard. If the steering wheel, consider investing in a cover to prevent the wheel from becoming worn. If your car is often left out in the Texas heat, it’s important to protect your dashboard from sun damage so I suggest you purchase a dashboard cover. Also, check the lighting on the dashboard knobs and if any are broken, they can easily be replaced at your Chevy dealership.
If your Honda has dull, weathered headlights, visit an auto supply store and buy a headlight restoration kit which will run you about $30. Not only will it improve your vision on the road while driving at night, but will also polish off the car’s appearance.
As the summer heats up, it’s a good time to clean your air conditioner. To clean it, clear any leaves, dust, or other accumulated gunk from the air passageways. Change or clean the system’s filters and use an air-conditioning deodorizer. Check your car’s brake pads, shocks, springs, dampers, and struts. Replacing worn ones can make a major difference in the performance of your car.
These suggestions are part of the upkeep cost of maintaining a vehicle, and will keep your current car running longer. If you ever have mechanical problems make sure and visit the Greg May Honda Service Department, we are always happy to help with any of your Honda needs.
