Halloween Car Care

From tailgates to Trunk-or-Treats, fall festivities can create additional wear and tear on your car. With some simple seasonal maintenance, you can treat your vehicle and prevent some unfortunate tricks from ruining road trips. Here are some Halloween car care tips to celebrate the season with more sweetness than scary situations.

Halloween Car Care

Before you load up the trunk with tailgate favorites and Halloween decor, take some time for the following maintenance checks:

• Tires. Check pressure and tread depth to ensure a good grip before the weather turns cold and dangerously icy.
• Fluids. Top off oil and coolant with a winterized formula before the drop in temperature changes the liquid’s consistency.
• Wipers. Replace worn blades and refill the fluid reservoir to maintain clear visibility during rain or snow.
• Lights. Replace any burned-out bulbs, especially since the days are getting shorter.
• Wash. Use a car-safe shampoo instead of other soaps that can damage the paint and protective coatings. Vacuum the interior and spot-treat any spills from tailgating parties or candy-fueled events.
• Wax. Protect the finish from the upcoming salty conditions of winter roads.
• Cover. Use a soft-lined, breathable cover to protect your vehicle’s paint and prevent moisture buildup when parked outside. When possible, park in the garage, especially with trick-or-treaters trampling up your driveway.

The ultimate treat for your vehicle would be to bring it to SPA Car Wash for a soft cloth wash. Not only will we help get your car back to showroom quality, but our detailing services offers preventative measures to protect the interior and exterior from potential damage any time of year.
