Buying a Car – Tips on How to Maintain It
In this article we will look at some general service hints that apply to any car whether you buy it new or used. In most cases, these maintenance costs are not covered by your factory and extended warranty, but are important considerations in getting the best and most reliable service from your car.
The first consideration is where you take it for service. Many people simply take it back to the dealer where they bought it. The advantage there is that if they discover anything that needs fixing under the warranty, they will fix it for you when you take it in for service. But be aware that you pay a premium for dealer service in most things, and you can often cut the cost of that routine maintenance by 30% or more by using a good independent repair shop. And the independent shop may be a bit more observant in pointing out other problems with your car that you can have fixed under warranty back at the dealership.

All Car Covers Are Not Created Equal!

You might think all car covers are created equal, but in fact, there are some that can do more damage than good. A one sizes fits all cover can cause damage to your car if it is windy and the cover is too loose. It will let dirt underneath the cover and it will also slap against your car. If the cover you choose is not waterproof and it rains the moisture can sit on the car and cause damage.
If you are planning on storing your classic or customize car you will want an indoor cover made specifically for the make and model of car you have. You will want an indoor cover that is light weight and has a soft lining to protect your investment. A custom fit cover will give you maximum protection against dirt and dust that could scratch your pride and joy.

Car covers come in all shapes, colors and sizes to help you protect your vehicle from Mother Nature and people passing by. If your car is left uncovered the finish can be damaged by ultra violet radiation from the sun and acid rain from air pollution. It will also get covered in dust which acts like an abrasive material and will scratch your vehicle. A covered car is also protected from the claws of animals and from bird droppings which can eat right through the finish of your car.
A car cover can also damage your vehicle if it does not fit properly. A cover that does not fit correctly can actually do more damage to your car than leaving it uncovered. A loose car cover will flap against the paint and may cause severe scratching and chipping of your car’s paint finish. To make sure this doesn’t happen to your vehicle you should invest in a cover that is custom fitted for your year and make of car.

Types of Custom Car Covers

If you want to protect your car from the elements and from being unintentionally scratched then you should invest in a custom fit car cover. The generic covers or the ones that say “one size fits all” won’t give you the protection like one that is specifically designed to fit your make and model of car. A custom fit cover will be specifically tailored to the lines of your vehicle. It will also have sown in mirror pockets and grommet holes for antennas. Low quality universal fit covers are baggy and can slip and slide against your paint finish. A custom tailored cover will conform to your car’s body ensuring a snug fit.
If you are looking for an outdoor car cover you want one that is waterproof and made of breathable material and has UV protection. Breathable materials allow air to circulate which prevents moisture build up. The UV protection helps to block out a significant amount of the sun’s harmful rays that can fade your paint job.
