How to Air Your Car Out
Welcome back! There are a few people here who have surely missed you. Let’s begin that list with your loyal road companion – your car. We know you’ve had the time of your life these summer months, and here at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac in Kenosha, WI, we are happy to know that you have taken full advantage of your well-deserved vacation. However, now it’s time to let your baby out on the road again and for that, we want to make sure that you know how to air your car out after being in a closed space for an extended period of time.
A little air never hurt anybody
The first step is the simplest. Quite literally, just let the air out your car! Remove the vehicle cover and open the windows and doors. Try to let natural light and air inside to get rid of that musty smell that places get when they have been left untouched for a while.
Time to uncover the beast within.
Now you have to take care of the heart of your vehicle. It is very important that you check your battery to make sure that connections and posts are all free of any type of corrosion that can build up with the passing of time. But be careful and plan ahead! Your battery might be dead since electronics can quickly drain your battery power.
Now that light and air have re-entered your vehicle, you have to get it ready for driving. Check that there are no leaks or damages before you start it back up. Make sure that the hoses and belts haven’t been damaged and change any dirty filters. One more thing: Don’t forget to take a look at the fluid levels of oil, water, brakes, coolant, power-steering and even the windshield washer fluid.
And the skittish might not like this but it is very necessary that you look for nests that birds or mice may have built during the time your car was not being used – for this step, we are deeply sorry, but it’s better to check thoroughly than find out the hard way later.
These steps are always vital for your car’s life and your family’s protection! If you think you might need some help, call one of our expert service center assistants or our sales representatives.
