The actions we must take to keep it in excellent condition
Now in the winter in case we don’t use our car, either because we have surrendered the plates or because we have it in a parking space decommissioned and drive it around occasionally, or for some other reason, we should take some actions to keep it in excellent condition . In this way we will be sure that our car will be completely safe and functional when we are called upon to use it.
Before being immobilized for a long time, we should have enough fuel in the tank, antifreeze in the refrigerator and oil on the level specified by the manufacturer, while the tires should have the ideal pressure. If they exist wheel chocks, it is good to use thembecause if it remains stationary for a long time with the handbrake on, it may remain stuck the moment we move it.
Before leaving it stationary for a long period of time, the interior should be clean and under no circumstances should we leave any product that spoils or any garbage that will create unpleasant odors.
Experts advise that a car it should be driven every two to three weeks to remain in good condition. In case there is no such possibility of movement, then should run the engine to run for at least 15 minutes once a week.
The good external condition will help our car not to rust, especially in places where we have small bumps or the paint is gone. A good wash to remove dirt or bird droppings will protect the paint.
Your car’s air conditioning system can provide solutions on hot summer days, but it can also help in the winter. Turning it on can dry any wet seats or interior fabrics. If there is no garage, it is good to cover it with a hood. In this way we protect the car from the weather.
The hood should be tight and secured underneath. If the cover is not secured, then strong winds can tear it off. The cover should also be soft and elastic, allowing moisture to evaporate. Plastic tarps can damage its paint.
Finally, we check the tire pressure. In the event that a tire loses air, we must supplement with a special compressor. If the tires are left deflated for a long time, the tires will tear and become unfit for use.
