Car Service Milestones | What to Expect
A Long Island schoolteacher named Irving Gordon has kept his 1966 Volvo in such good shape, that it’s driven more than 3 million miles. A lot of care goes into making a car last a long time, and here are a few things to expect as your car ages. These tips show how to keep your car in top shape, if not for millions of miles, then certainly for longer than average.
First Service
By about 15,000 miles, your new vehicle should be serviced for the first time. A good first service will include inspection of core parts like the brake systems, cooling systems, possibly fuel systems, and include an oil change, air filter replacement, and tire rotation.
A first scheduled service shouldn’t cost you much more than $200, but could help outline small quirks in your vehicle, which you can address easily and preemptively, before they cost you a lot more in the future.
How to Spring Clean Your Car After the Winter
You might be wondering what’s so important about spring cleaning your car? Well, it’s not just a stubborn tradition. Here are the best ways to clean your car as the winter ends, and the reasons why.
Pre-Winter and Post-Winter Waxing
Road salt is a major risk to vehicles during and after the winter season. One good way to protect against the damaging minerals is by giving the paint job a fresh wax, at the start of winter starts and the beginning of spring. Other areas of your car can also suffer such as the wheels so remember to clean and protect them as well.

5 Important Items to Keep In Your Glove Box
Is your glove box a nest of loose receipts, expired documents, and old food wrappers? Whether you keep your glove box clean and tidy or not, it should have the things that can save you a lot of time and hassle. Put this convenient bit of storage space to use with these five items.
Antibacterial Hand Wipes
Your hands touch so many parts of your interior, it’s only right to have something sanitary. Not only are hand wipes nice to use every so often, just as you’re leaving or entering your car, but they’re also great against drive-thru meals and other sticky situations. Both you and your passengers will appreciate it. If possible, try to get non-scented wipes, so your hands don’t reek of lemon or herbs.
A simple miniature trash container will make putting away used hand wipes a lot simpler, so look out for one of those as well. There are options that hook behind seats, on doors, or in almost any convenient area.
