As you plan the itinerary for your summer road trip, remember to put BMW maintenance on your to-do list. There are a few items you can check off on your own, and some you’ll need the assistance of our specially trained technicians to handle. Here are a few tips to get your vehicle ready for your vacation from the friendly professionals at Fields BMW Northfield.
What You Can Do to Prepare Your Vehicle
One of the most important ways to prepare your luxury model for a nice, long drive is to clean it inside and out. Starting your road trip with a clean vehicle not only adds to your enjoyment of the drive, but it also helps protect your vehicle from wear and tear.
Throw away any garbage that’s inside your cabin and vacuum the seats to make sure no dirt or debris can damage the upholstery. Then, wash your vehicle to clean off the grime that could cause scratches or rust, and consider a protective coat of wax.
Finally, give your car or SUV a once-over. Make sure your windshield wiper fluid is full and check to make sure your headlights, taillights, and interior systems like air conditioning, navigation, and infotainment systems are functioning properly.
