If the car is being stored for an extended period of time, give us a call and set up an appointment with our service center in order to obtain a kind of oil that contains no additives.

Also, in order to prevent problems like condensation in the tank, fill the fuel tank with fresh, premium fuel. In order to avoid any empty spaces where water can accumulate, it is better for your engine that you try a non-alcoholic fuel.

Now this is a fun fact: if you want to take care of your windshield, place a piece of plastic wrap under the wiper blades in order to prevent the rubber from sticking to the glass.

If you opt for removing the blades, be sure to pad the ends of the wipers arms, which can scratch the glass if inadvertently turned on.

We all need a little extra care in order to stay healthy. This also goes for your vehicle! Think about it before you travel so that when you come back, it stays running and powerful for your and your family.
