BAY CITY Mich., - Are you interested in saving yourself
time, money and trouble by learning how to extend the life of your
vehicle? If so then keep reading,
because we have some tips that will do all of the above and make you a very
happy car owner.
When you bring your vehicle into Graff Chevrolet Bay City we
can certainly inspect your car for damage and make repairs, however, we want
you to know how you could improve your vehicle’s life all on your own!
Don’t Settle For
Cheap Insurance
You may be saving some money now when you pay for cheap
insurance but you certainly won’t be doing yourself any favors in the long
run. Always look for an insurer
that will guarantee the work that they authorize and will pay for OEM parts.
Break Your Vehicle In
If you push your car too far in the beginning then you can
cause some serious damage to it.
Just take it easy and give it some time to be broken-in, you’ll be glad
you did!
Run Your Air
Conditioning in Winter
We know that this isn’t something that you typically want to
do especially when you’re stuck in the middle of a Michigan winter but it can
really help your vehicle.
The cold
air keeps seals in good shape and prevents the compressor’s moving parts from
seizing up.
Fix Your
Weather-Stripping
When you see rainwater or snow seeping into your car then
it’s time to take a look at your weather-stripping. Many times it’s an easy fix and you can use adhesives or
foam rods. If the problem is
really bad then you can order new weather-stripping that fits your vehicle
exactly. Refrain from purchasing
any generic products, they won’t last and will end up costing you more money
than you need to spend.
Tape Your Cracked
Tail light
You may not be alarmed that your tail lights or headlights
have cracks in them but it can actually turn into a serious issue if you let it
go. Water can get inside of your
lights and you’ll be wasting a lot of money to have the problem righted. Well here’s a quick and easy fix that
will keep your money in your pocket: use tape! There is specially designed tape for this exact use that
comes in red or clear that can set your mind at rest.
Rotate Your Tires
When you rotate your tires you not only are spreading the
wear evenly but you’re also ensuring that you get the most out of your tires
before you have to replace them. Ideally
this should be done every 6,000 to 7,500 miles.
