Spring Cleaning for Your Ride

-
Are you wondering how you can make the most out of your extra time at home? With recent changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you're likely spending more and more time at home. Our car dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks is considered an essential business and we're still open for business but we understand you may be looking for ways to be productive at home. Now that spring is here and the weather is turning nice outside, there's no better time to get out and enjoy the weather. Cleaning up your vehicle is a great way to get outside while remaining productive. Below, Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC has included a checklist of spring cleaning tasks for your vehicle:


Vacuum Out Interior

Dirt particles and crumbs are easily carried into your vehicle. From eating in your vehicle to getting in and out on messy driveways or parking lots, your vehicle gets dirty from time to time. This is your chance to clean it out and prepare it for the warm summer months ahead.

Deep Clean Floor Boards

Winter grime can build up easily, even if you are careful about what gets tracked into your vehicle. Shoes carry many dirt, snow, and salt particles from simply walking to and from your car. Ensure this kind of debris doesn't cause permanent stains by deep cleaning your floor boards on a regular basis. Now that the snowy days are behind us (hopefully), it's a great time to remove this kind of build up that may cause permanent stains to your floor boards.


Wipe Down all Surfaces

Cars can get dusty and gross over time. Simply wipe down all hard surfaces with a microfiber cloth to easily remove dust and other particles that may build up in your vehicle. You may even consider wiping down your dash and other hard surfaces with a protectant that can help keep your surfaces moisturized and allow them to last longer. Try to do this dusting process after you vacuum as the vacuum may stir up more dust in your car.

Wash the Exterior

Roadway grime and other particles can quickly build up on your vehicle's exterior. These particles can cause little scratches in the clear coat of your paint over time. Help preserve the quality of your car paint by washing the exterior of your vehicle on a regular basis. Take some time to give your vehicle a good ol' fashion hand wash.


Apply Wax Coat

Spring is a great time of year to treat the exterior of your vehicle. A wax coat can help your vehicle shine and offers an extra layer of protection as the warm summer months approach.

Treat the Tires

The rubber on your tires can be treated with tire protectant. This can help keep your tires clean and moisturized which may lead to your tires lasting longer. It also keeps your tires shining and gives your ride that extra visual boost as you roll down the highway.

Now that you have a list of things you can accomplish to prepare your vehicle for spring, you're ready to get outside and start working on your ride. Pick a warm day with lots of sunshine to help soak up the rays. Getting vitamin D can help boost your mood and checking a must-needed task off your list (like cleaning up your vehicle) can help you feel a sense of accomplishment in this uncertain time. Once you have your vehicle looking good, don't forget to bring it by to have maintenance performed at our Lake of the Ozarks vehicle maintenance department. Remember, we have special hours set aside for those who are at-risk for the virus. Give our service department a call today to schedule your vehicle service in Camdenton, MO!

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

-

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar
