Car Maintenance Guide for 2024

Detail Clean Your Vehicle (Inside and Out)

Regularly washing and detail cleaning your vehicle can help keep it in good condition year-round. When cleaning inside your car, wipe down all surfaces and vacuum, paying attention to nooks and crannies that are easily missed. When cleaning your vehicle’s exterior, wash your car from top to bottom with warm water and car-safe soap. Don’t skip your vehicle’s undercarriage, where dirt, salt, and debris can build up. Finally, applying a layer of car wax on your vehicle’s clean paint can protect it in between washes.

Remove Dents and Dings

Dents and dings are unsightly and often a reminder of past accidents. Bring in the new year for your vehicle by taking your car in for auto body repair at Pole Position Auto Body. Our I-Car Gold Class certified technicians use the latest vehicle technology and best techniques to return your vehicle’s exterior to its pristine, dent-free condition.

Check Your Tires

Before you roll into the winter months, check your vehicle’s tire tread and pressure. Low tire tread and pressure can put you at risk on Michigan roads, so always follow your vehicle’s manufacturer’s guidelines. If you live in a state prone to harsh winters, like Michigan, swap out your standard tires for winter tires for added protection on slick roadways.

Pack Vehicle Essentials

The beginning of a new year is a great time to ensure your current insurance policy and vehicle registration are organized and easily locatable in your car. Just make sure that all policies are through 2024 to avoid issues if you get pulled over. Consider packing an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes blankets, a flashlight, a phone charger, water, and emergency cones. This ensures you’re ready for whatever 2024 throws at you on Michigan roadways.

Repair Damaged Glass

If the glass on your windshields or windows is chipped or cracked, it can reduce visibility and put you at risk of an accident. It doesn’t take long for a small chip to spread and frigid temps only speed this up. So don’t put off repairs for any damaged glass. Pole Position Auto Body offers full-line glass service for all your windshield repair needs so you can safely drive through the winter months with complete visibility.
