Spring and Summer cleaning tips!

Admit it, you have more of a difficult time cleaning out your car during the winter. No worries, and now that it is almost summer, it's time for a cleaning. Because we care about your vehicle at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Surprise.

That's why this month, we've broken down a few good steps for spring cleaning your vehicle. 
1. Remove everything from the inside that doesn’t belong or is creating clutter. 
  • Empty water bottles
  • Extra coats
  • Camping supplies
  • Old papers, notes, receipts, wrappers, etc
2. Vacuum and dust interior
3. Clean the windows
  • It's always important to have a clear view when driving and salt from the winter roads can really cloud up your windows. 
  • Also, using the defroster in the winter, causes an oily film to build up on your windows.
4. Clean the exterior
  • Experts believe that a clean exterior lead to better aerodynamics, which leads to better fuel efficiency.
  • Take it in for a car wash, or grab a hose and a bucket of soap.
  • If washing it yourself, find a shady place to wash to avoid the sun drying the soap suds.
5. Give your car a simple tune up
  • Replace the air filter
  • Check the spark plugs
  • Get an oil change
  • And of course make sure your A/C is good to go for the summer!
