Is Your Car Ready for The Monsoon Showers?

It's true that the summer sun is taking a bit too long to retreat, but monsoon isn't far behind. Very soon it will start raining cats and dogs and you will be in big soup with your car totally unprepared for the heavy showers. So, gear up for the monsoon and start taking care of the following things in your car before it is too late -

Tires: First and foremost, ensure that your tires are in good shape to handle the monsoons. Bad car tires are the biggest cause of accidents during monsoons as they tend to skid upon interaction with wet surfaces. And if you are driving on a water logged street, then you never know when your car tires are going to give up. So, check the pressure inside the tires much ahead of time, and give them a good tread depth so as to avoid any slips or unwanted jolts.

Windshield Wipers: Check your car wiper blades the moment it starts to drizzle. Wipers are important for providing vision while driving in rain. So, make sure they are in good condition and functioning properly in all the three speeds. Replace them as soon as possible, if you find the blades cracked as they could cause scratches on the windshield.

Brakes: Cars breaking down in the midst of roads is a common phenomenon during monsoon. So, do take your car for regular servicing during monsoons so as to ensure that the brakes are properly fitted.

Rust: Use anti-rust coating on your car fittings and car accessories if you want to avoid rust. Another way to prevent accumulation of rust is to use anti-moisture sprays.

Engine: Take care of your vehicle's engine and get them regularly serviced and fitted, so that water doesn't seep into it.

Electricals: Check the electrical connections, and get all the loose ends fitted properly prior to the arrival of monsoons to avoid any kind of disaster.

Car Interiors: Try to keep your car interiors in a dry condition. Use seat covers, and avoid unnecessary spills while on the move. The moisture in the air during monsoon is enough too spoil your lavish car interiors.

Car Perfume: Placing a good quality car perfume or car air freshener could neutralize the stinking odor caused due to monsoons. The options are endless; just go for the one that suits your mood and style.
