Why a Full Service Car Wash is Right for You
Car washes are not just for appearance. They can also extend the life of your car, much like changing the oil prolongs the life of your engine and regular brake service keeps your car stopping like it should. A full service car wash like Fred’s is necessary to maintain the look and overall working condition of your vehicle.
For instance, during the winter, the salt and sand that’s spread on roads and highways to keep you safe, can also damage the underside of your car and can lead to rust. Rust can create further maintenance costs down the line so it is wise to stay ahead of the salt by removing it from beneath your car.
A full service car wash at Fred’s includes an undercarriage wash with a liquid salt neutralizer that uses a specialized solution to remove magnetized salt. Soap or a pressure wash is usually not enough to remove salt.
Salt can cause all sorts of issues such as pinhole leaks in your radiator and electrical shorts, especially if you live in an icy area. Regular de-salting can extend the life of your vehicles, keep them running well, and maximize the overall value of your car so it’s worth more when you decide to sell.
Stains on the windshield and side mirrors can also interfere with your driving ability. Not being able to see during rain or snow can be very dangerous. It may also prevent the wipers on your windshield from being able to keep your windshield clear in poor weather. There is also the fact that wipers do not clean your entire windshield so it is much safer to be able to clearly see 360 degrees while driving.
Other than maintenance, keeping your car clean helps you to drive with more confidence. It may be embarrassing to come to a company meeting with a dirty car. It can also reflect poorly on you since people may assume that you do not take care of other aspects of your life.
Think about how humiliating it must be to have to push food boxes, receipts, and miscellaneous trash off a seat in your car just to let a passenger sit down. Our full service car wash at Fred’s can also clean the interior of your car with services that will leave it spotless so you can prevent the shame of clearing a pile of debris from your seats.
Outside of your car, road grit, insects and rain can all make your car look dirty and cause damage to the paint. Bird droppings, for example, contain uric acid that is quite corrosive and can eat away at the clear coat on your car if it’s left to bake in the sun for too long.
It is best to deal with these issues as quickly as you see them or else you will be left with an unsightly mark on your car. If you see blemishes like these on your car, take a trip to Fred’s for a full service car wash that will get your car looking and smelling great.
