1. Give her a nice wash.
The winter season can really have a negative impact on your vehicle's exterior, especially in Michigan. When roads are salted to prevent snow and ice buildup, your car will suck the salt up into its tires and underbody. A pileup of salt can slowly lead to the deterioration of your vehicle's paint if you don't get frequent car washes in the winter. Start your Valentine's Day off by running your ride through a nice car wash.
2. Spruce up her interior.
As salt, snow, water, and ice start to track with you into your vehicle, the carpets/mats can get ugly fast. Take some time aside to vacuum and shampoo (if you're really feeling adventurous) your car's floors and seats. A clean interior will not only give your vehicle the refresh it needs, but will make you feel better as well. We understand that it's hard to clean your car in the cold winter weather, but even the smallest touch up can make a significant difference overtime and lead to less wear and tear.
3. Top off her fluids.
In the winter, your vehicle uses an excess amount of energy to perform its best. With that being said, it's extremely important to make sure all fluids are full. The two big ones to check in this cold season are anti-freeze and windshield washer fluid. Keep an extra jug of both fluids in your trunk so that you have some with you at all times!
4. Buy her a care package.
Your vehicle runs at optimum efficiency with fresh oil. Typically, oil changes are needed every 3,000-5,000 miles to ensure your engine continues to run well. On your Valentine's Day route, stop by Graff Okemos to get your car's oil changed out. Along with this simple service, it's also a great idea to get your vehicle's alignment checked and your tires rotated for a smoother ride on the road.
5. Buy her some perfume.
The nastiness of the winter season can leave your car smelling gross. Good thing, there are multiple fragrances that'll freshen up your ride in no time. Top off your Valentine's Day by giving your vehicle one last gift. Take a trip to your local auto supply store to pick up some air fresheners. Your car will thank you for the crisp new scent.
Although there's nothing wrong with your vehicle being your valentine this year, impress your actual Valentine's Day date with a clean and smooth ride.
