Car care: fitness cure for the summer

Pollen and pollen like to attach themselves to vehicles these days. With the reopening of the car washes, motorists can once again devote themselves to vehicle care.

For best and, above all, time-saving results, professional cleaning is worthwhile. The experts not only have the appropriate cleaning agents, they also have the equipment to make vehicles summer-ready.

Checking the cabin filters
In addition to a thorough exterior cleaning, during which the car body, windows, rims and underbody are cleaned, the vehicle interior should not be neglected: Among other things, carpets, fittings, door sills, folds and, if necessary, the seats are cleaned.

It is also important to check the cabin air filters. This is because saturated or unsuitable filters in particular make it easier for substances that cause illnesses or allergies to penetrate the car's interior.

Activated carbon filters are effective in this respect. They effectively remove pollen, dust, pollutants and odors from the air entering the car. A good quality filter is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers.

Clean windows create safety
In the same operation, the air conditioning system can be checked and disinfected.

Markus Peter, Head of Technology & Environment at the AGVS: "This way, motorists are already prepared for the heat days. Last but not least, make sure your windshield is clean: Thoroughly cleaned, it fogs up less quickly, provides a clear view and contributes to safety."

Winter tires against summer tires
Vehicle maintenance also includes a look at the electronics and chassis components. The garage staff check the car on the lift and can point out any defects to the driver.

And: If you still have winter tires mounted, you should change to summer tires. With the tires specialized for warm temperatures, you are safer, more environmentally friendly and also cheaper on the road.
