Four reason to have your Toyota serviced
April 22 2022, Richmond Toyota
Some people didn't believe in it anymore, but yes, spring is slowly taking hold... Finally! And when you say spring, you mean spring cleaning of the yard, the garage, the cottage, the house. But what about the car? Why do we tend to assume that it doesn't need it? Here are four reasons why we shouldn't skip this essential maintenance, inside and out.
1- Not just beautiful, but long lasting
Yes, a clean car looks good, but a spring cleaning is not just for that. It is necessary to preserve it from the external aggressions of winter. Impure elements such as mud, gravel and salt spilled on the ice are harmful to your car's bodywork and paintwork. In the long run, this can lead to rust and corrosion. That's why it's important to get rid of it in the spring! A clean, dirt-free car body will last much longer. For the same reasons, a wax is highly recommended.
2- Safety first
It may seem trivial to say that windows need to be cleaned, and not just on the outside, but when the car comes out of a Quebec winter, the amount of impurities left behind can surprise you. Deposits and stains can be particularly problematic on the windshield, as they can impair your vision while driving. The risk is even higher in summer, as the sun's rays can easily dazzle you when they land on these unwanted impurities.
The same applies to turn signals that are covered in mud, even if only slightly, as they are much less visible to other drivers.
3- Light cargo, happy wallet
Even if we are a well-organised person, sometimes, especially in winter, our vehicle is loaded with a lot of things we need to face the bad weather. Shovels, snow brooms, blankets, and many other things that we don't use in the summer. Although the difference in weight may sometimes seem insignificant, it is undeniable that the lighter the vehicle, the less fuel it will consume.
4- A healthy mind in a healthy body in a clean car
Everyone agrees that when spring arrives, when you open the windows, when you take a deep breath of fresh air, when you have the smell of cleanliness and freshness, you smile immediately. You feel happy and you have the impression that you have come out of a long hibernation. It's exactly the same with the car! It's clean, it smells good, the paintwork shines in the sun and the music sounds even better! You have to admit, it's a real mood booster! That's what spring maintenance is all about!
