Are you starting your back to school prep? Fall semester kicks off next month and things are definitely going to pick up speed - gone are the lazy days of summer. But between all the back-to-school shopping, laundry, signing up for classes, and planning for school drop-off and pick-up, you should schedule a little TLC for your ride in terms of car care.
When school is back in session you're undoubtedly going to be putting more miles on your car and making it work harder to maintain top performance, safety, and comfort. That's why it's critical to prep your car ahead of time so it's ready for the busy school year. Here are some of our tip Charlotte car maintenance tips to prep effectively for back to school!
Four tips to get your ride ready for back to school
Tip #1: Detail your ride before back to school.
No one really wants to get back to the hustle and bustle that the school year brings, but you can definitely make it easier by detailing your car before the year kicks off. Empty out all the trash and clutter and then wipe and vacuum the interior for a pleasant commute. We also recommend washing and waxing the exterior, as well as scrubbing your wheels, and cleaning all glass. Head back to school in style!
Tip #2: Catch up on routine car care.
Are you behind on your routine Charlotte car care schedule? Before you start putting more miles on your car, take the time to catch up on things like oil change, tire rotations, brake service, battery checks, and anything else on your car care to-do list. After all, staying up on routine maintenance can ensure you don't deal with any major issues throughout the school year. Our techs will check your car from bumper to bumper when you come in and will be able to head off any problems before they get big or expensive.
Tip #3: Get organized.
Make back to school - and the ensuing school year - easier than ever by staying organized. We know that getting kids back and forth to school, sports, clubs, tutoring, and other activities can entail A LOT of stuff, so invest in things like a cargo area organizer and over-the-seat organizers to keep everyone's stuff in one place. And don't let clutter accumulate - it'll just make the school year more hectic.
Tip #4: Pack wisely.
Is your car prepped and ready for back to school? Now is a good time to sort through the trunk or cargo area, the glove box, and the center console to make sure it's organized and stocked with the supplies you need to make it through the year. We suggest carrying around items like jumper cables, a spare tire kit, a spare phone charging cord, a flashlight, and a basic toolkit for small repairs. It's also a good idea to keep a small first aid kit, non-perishable snacks, and some bottled water on hand. This can also help fend off after-school hangry vibes!
