As more Americans follow orders to stay home and social distance themselves, you may find your vehicle being driven less than before. Leaving your car sitting in one spot for too long, however, can have unforeseen consequences and impact the safety of your ride. That’s why the expert technicians at our Alabaster area service center are here with some tips and essential maintenance services to keep you rolling in the midst of COVID-19.
Several important components inside your vehicle can start to breakdown when left parked for too long. Vital fluids separate, your tires may develop flat spots, and your brake rotors can begin to rust. Brand new car batteries can die too if left too long without a charge, leaving you in need of a jump-start to get going next time you need to hit the road. Our team of professionally-trained technicians and mechanics recommend driving your car at least once a week for 20 minutes or longer to keep everything working smoothly.
The Driver’s Way team always stresses the importance of routine maintenance, but it’s crucial now more than ever! Perform visual inspections frequently and check your vehicle’s owner manual for specific service intervals. Some drivers may be able to stretch regular service intervals by not driving as often, but if your vehicle does need maintenance, Driver’s Way is here for you!
