Tips on How to Maintain Your Car During Lockdown #ImperialAuto #staysafe #stayathome

Hi Friends, 

During lockdown, most of us are staying home, and thus our cars are not being used. For the most part, vehicles would only be used for quick and necessary supply pick-ups. It is however important to care for your car during this time, and maintain a few essential components, especially if it’s an older model.

Here’s Imperial Auto’s lockdown vehicle care, to-do list:

• Take this opportunity to give your car a good clean – inside and out. Rope the family in and make it a fun activity
• If possible, park your car under cover while it’s not in use. If it must be parked out in the sun and you don’t have a cover for it, put sunshades or towels over the dashboard to protect it from the sun
• Cover any air intakes with a cloth and if the car is going to be standing for a good few weeks, you may consider stuffing a rag into the exhaust. (These measures will prevent bugs and unwanted critters getting in there)
• If you have not started your vehicle since lockdown began –you should do so now. Start it every few days. If you have an older vehicle you should consider disconnecting your battery to prevent it from draining
• Place cling wrap under the wiper blades to prevent them from sticking to the windshield. (Don’t forget the rear wiper blade)

Once lockdown is lifted it will be a good idea to do an overall check on your vehicle and remember to undo all the storage prep you did originally.

Here’s our post lockdown to-do list:

• Remove rags you may have placed in the exhaust pipe
• Inspect the windshield wipers to see if the rubber is cracked or brittle and remove cling wrap
• Check the tyre pressure and, if necessary, re-inflate to the recommended pressure
• Check all fluids
• If you’ve disconnected the battery, reconnect and check that the battery terminals are clean
• Wash off any dust or dirt your car may have accumulated whilst standing
• Should your car be sounding a bit rough or feel a bit sluggish, you may need to take it for a workshop check

Photo Review - @AlfaRomeo_SA GIULIETTA

Hi Guys,

AlfaRomeo Guilietta is one of most favorite cars amongst a lot of people in South Africa. Here are some of the pictures clicked by one of my friends who used to own the car.

The tail lights are the eyes of something which will arouse a sense of looks into the ones travelling behind the car.

The exterior looks of the Giulietta is simply superb and you fall in love with the same instantly.

The aerodynamic style gives the car the necessary speed and grip on the road for long continuous drive.

I simply loved the car because of it's responsive engine and sporty drive mode which gives better control on the brakes and speed of the car.

Alfa Romeo has a history of great groundbreaking technology built into it's cars. Guilietta is one of the marvels from the house of Alfa Romeo.

Giulietta is a car which you would love to do a photo shoot in all weathers. I have been to Drakensburg and St Lucia on the same and really loved all my travel on the same. Kudos to the brand for making our drive pleasurable.

Cheers!!!

Escape Into Freshness - Kids and Cars

Hi All,

We all have cars and we all love our cars. The only purpose of cars is to make our ride comfortable while we take care of the car just like our kid or as a closet family member. We flaunt our brand new cars via it's brands or may be via it's length CAAAARRRR in a recent advertisements or via it's mileage and looks. After a while all we think about is the car's maintenance, the petrol/diesel it drinks every kilometer and clean interiors. 

I do have my dream to own a car got fulfilled when I bought my Santro with the help from my dad as he took most of the loan. The basic logic of the car purchase was to make a comfortable ride for my wife and kid who was yet to born as it was a travel of 300kms from the place I was working and where my family lived. 

Post kid's birth, it was the first time when I took my daughter to the place I work and came to know that Car really made the travel easy as well as entertaining. Because of the kid, many a times it was time to change the nappies, sometimes milk vomiting and many other things made the car stink for quiet for some time. It was a difficult time cleaning the smell these things left in the car. As my daughter was growing so was the things that fell in the car. From corn snacks to popcorns to soft drinks spilling, the car took quiet a beating till 4 years.  After many years of travel, the smell was always subtle present in the car. 

As I received a Light Citrus version sample of the Ambi Pur Vent Clip from the company in a Indiblogger drive. While I was very confused that what this 2ML of liquid will do to the car but as the first clip vent inside the car the bad smell really left the car forever atleast for about 30-40 days. But after this was over, I really need to find out another one quickly in the market so as to make the ride more comfortable. 

The mini vent was spill free and there was no problem that it should be upright only which happens with other kinds of available in the market. The price is just about right at Rs. 200 only. I really felt refreshed as I went on the drive to the nearest mall and to a relatives place. My wife generally takes the car to her office as her office is nearly 30kms drive and this really helps if the car is free from any odour. I am really happy that my car is really great after nearing 4 years and 40000kilometers and still feel as fresh as new one. 

Cheers to AmbiPur products which keeps interiors of the car FreshnHappy.
