Invest in New Tires

Checking your tires should be a routine part of your car maintenance. However, this valentine’s day, consider replacing them for an even smoother ride – especially if they are five years or older. Also, check the tire pressure, as the correct pressure will improve handling and grip.

Clear the Clutter

Your car is almost like your second home, so treat it as such! Decluttering is a crucial part of car care, so if you haven’t cleared out the old water bottles or spare snacks in a while, now is the time to do so. At the end, consider investing in some new car essentials to make it feel more comfortable, like a new air freshener or car snack box.

Get a New Paint Job

Maintaining a car’s appearance means repainting the exterior from time to time. If your vehicle has any chipped-off paint, a new paint job will really make a difference to the way it looks. This is particularly important if you plan on picking up a date this valentine’s day; you want your car to impress!

Rent Your Ideal Vehicle

Do you drive your old reliable car every day? Perhaps you’re in the mood for a change? This valentine’s day, you can show your car some love by giving it a rest and hiring a car. It’s a convenient option if you plan on travelling somewhere new and you don’t want to take your car all that way. At Highway Bakkie Hire, we have many awesome vehicles to let you drive in style, such as the Volkswagen Polo or the Toyota Starlet.
