Why Washing Your Car Matters

While getting a car wash may seem like a hassle, it should be seen as a benefit to car owners. Here at Diamond Valley Honda, we think there are great things that can come from having a clean vehicle:

1. Safety: The buildup of dirt and grime on your vehicle’s mirrors and windows can blur your vision. Making it difficult to see obstructions and on-coming vehicles.

2. Optimize airflow: When your car is clean, it has better airflow which means you get better fuel economy.

3. A Protected Investment: A regular car wash keeps your vehicle in better condition. This means you can receive more money when you decided to get rid of your ride.

4. A Protected Paint Job: Rain and bird droppings contain acid, which will eat through the paint if left on your vehicle too long.

5. Better Health: Washing your car inside and out prevents the growth of bacteria that can get you sick.

Summer: worse than winter?

 

Winter is commonly thought of as the greatest threat to our cars. Battery life, in particular, is a concern for most of us who have a growing distaste for the high cost of car maintenance. Though not a misconception at all, summer is actually worse on your car battery life according to non-profit car care council. High temperatures can cause battery fluid to evaporate which contributes to the batteries internal damage and slow death. These easy to follow steps are the advice of the non-profit car care council which, here at Diamond Valley Honda, we agree is the best course of action to prevent unnecessary car battery replacement.

 

1. Keep the top of the battery cleaned. Dirt and other fluid leaks can create battery power loss.

 

2. Make sure the electrical system is working correctly. Overcharging from a malfunctioning electrical system can cause overcharging which will put you on the fast track to a dead battery.

 

3. Your battery is the type that needs to be topped off? Make sure to check this often!

With these steps in mind during the heat of summer, you are sure to give your car battery’s life the best chance of being replaced!
