Instead of letting it fall into disrepair, we suggest you take a few steps to keep it looking as good as ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover It Up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sun is one of the most damaging culprits of your vehicle. If you habitually leave your car uncovered, it\u2019ll wreak havoc on your paint, upholstery, and tires. The solution? Cover it up! Store your vehicle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a garage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under a canopy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or cover it with a tarp to protect it from damage, such as scratches and rust.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Up Your Maintenance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cars left stationary for long periods are more prone to mechanical issues such as poor performance, flat tires, and the like. One of the best things you can do to prevent this is to drive your car for at least a few minutes every few days. This will prevent your battery from losing charge and keep the internal mechanisms in motion and lubricated. Additionally, we recommend you continue running routine maintenance and tune-ups as if you were regularly driving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep It Clean<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your car is to remain outdoors (even if it\u2019s covered), it\u2019s in your best interest to keep it clean. Dust, leaves, and other impurities can potentially damage your paint job. If the car sounds like too far of a trip, even a simple rinse with water can help keep scratches at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protection When It Matters<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car insurance matters at all times, even if you\u2019re not driving your vehicle regularly.
