Uftring Spring Cleaning - The Importance of a Clean Car

Keeping a Clean Car

It is very important to prepare your vehicle for the the springtime. Throughout the last few months, it's worked extra hard to get you where you're going. From all of the snow, ice, slush and salt on the roads, your car has taken a beating! But, aside from the service that needs done, it also is in dire need of a good cleaning. 

A Clean Car is a Happy Car 

When the snow stops falling, it's very easy to notice who still needs to wash their car. Don't be one of those people driving around in April with salt stains from two months prior. Show your car some TLC and go to a car wash near you! Not only will it look great after it's clean, but it's also good for the vehicle. If you ignore the stains on your car for too long, the metal will begin to rust. Think of how upset you'd be if you knew how easy it was to prevent. 

The Inside is Just as Important

Think about all of the times you or your passengers stepped into your car after trudging through the wet snow in the winter. All of the dirt, salt, and snow has now seeped deep into the carpets of your vehicle. So, when you clean your car, remember to get the inside too! By scrubbing and vacuuming all of your floor mats and seats, you'll improve the look, smell, and life of the interior. And if you need a really deep clean of the inside, come get it detailed at one of our locations! We will have it looking good as new for you at a great price. 

As winter draws to an end, consider the importance of a clean car. Click here to schedule service and detailing, or visit Uftring Wash in Washington today. Remember, a clean car is a happy car! 

Freezing Rain - How to Deal When Behind the Wheel

How to Handle Freezing Rain

When the wet ground freezes over and the rain turns into ice, the roadways can become extremely dangerous. You may lose visibility due to ice on the windshield and windows, and you'll lose traction due to ice on the ground. Here are some tips in dealing with freezing rain and ice on the road. 

1. Scrape/Brush off Your Car

First and foremost, it's vitally important to remove any ice that has formed on your car. The sometimes thick layer will mess with your depth perception/vision, causing you to become a hazard to everyone around you. That's why it's necessary to scrape off your vehicle before driving. You'll want to buy a nice, heavy duty scraper from your local hardware store. If the ice is too thick to scrape, start your car and turn on the defrost about 10-15 minutes before you plan to leave. That way, your car will heat the ice and you can remove it more easily. What would you rather pay for - the extra gas or the repairs to your crashed vehicle? Take the time to clear off any and all ice from every window. 

2. Drive Slow/Give Yourself Extra Time

When there's ice on the roads, you're more likely than ever to skid and slide. This happens when you come to an abrupt stop. Your wheels have no traction whatsoever to catch on the ground. You'll just keep moving forward, risking an accident or going off the road. If you want to avoid stopping abruptly, then simply slow down. You might be running late for work or an appointment, but whoever's involved will understand. To prevent yourself from running late, leave 15-20 minutes earlier than you usually would. You must take into account your surroundings wherever you're going. 

3. Always Be Prepared

Freezing rain can hit at any time. That's why it pays to always be prepared for the worst case scenario. Should you run off the road and get stuck, pack some sand or kitty litter to put under the wheels for added traction. You'll also want to pack supplies like shovels, flashlights, de-icer, and extra gloves and a hat. You never know when you're going to need these things most. 

Hopefully these tips help you in dealing with freezing rain in the future. If you have any more questions, please stop by the Uftring Auto Group location closest to you in Peoria and East Peoria, Pekin, and Washington. We'd be happy to assist you further!
