Leaving your car parked for long periods can be caused in several ways. Amongst them is working from home, biking to work, long vacations and plenty of other events which you use your car less frequently. In the past year, there has been a global pandemic that up to now still exists. Some measures were put in place to reduce or rather prevent much spreading of the virus. Working from home was the most effective way of reducing interaction among people to help curb the virus. This saw a great number of car owners leaving their cars parked for a very long time. Up to now, there are some countries out there where people are still urged to work from home. Yes, this helps prevent further advancement and infections but it has a very negative impact on your car. A lot can happen to your car event for only a week without use. What if you go beyond that? This article will help answer the question ‘’How does the long-term parking affect the well-being of your car.

1.Kills the car battery.

A battery is made up of cells and sulphuric acid which are responsible for storing current. After a certain period of no use or flow of current in and out, the battery begins to die. In hot weather, the liquid inside the battery evaporates at a faster rate leaving the cells dry. This poses a great threat to the cells since they are responsible for storing current. Rust also forms on the battery terminals which prevent the car from igniting. It is wise to at least turn on the car for 5 minutes so that the alternator can charge the battery. That is the only way to maintain the life of your battery. However, you can jumpstart your car when the battery fails to pick. The ultimate solution to a completely failed battery is to replace it.

2. The cars get infested.

This is a common problem with the car that is parked for a long time. Infestation comes in many forms from plants to animals. During the winter, animals usually look for a good place to hibernate and keep cool from the harsh weather. Apart from our own house, rodents find cars well comfortable. They bore holes in the sits and other areas they find good. This tarnishes the interior look of the car and makes it less appealing. Molds and mildew are also other infestations for a car that is parked for a long period. When your car is parked in humid areas, there is a high chance of mold and mildew growth. These plants flourish in areas that are cold and humid. It is advisable to clean your car frequently or park in an enclosed environment that is humid-free.

3. Damages tires.

Tires get affected when you park your car for long without use in many different ways. Since tires are subjected to the weight of the entire car, over time they deflate. Deflating means that the tires becomes flat and still get subjected to the weight. After a long period of being in that state, the tire begins to rot. If the tire is no rotten, it will develop a flat spot. The flat spots affect the tires and make them rigid to the ground. This makes steering and handling difficult. You are required to regularly check on your tires to ensure they are well inflated and note out any changes.

4. Leaking and low-level car fluids.

Extended rest is very harmful to the car’s fluid and levels and this can happen in the following ways. The engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and gasoline are usually affected by the long rest. Gasoline gets affected when moisture enters inside the tank, it causes the tank to corrode. The liquid itself losses its chemical property and even evaporated when exposed to too much heat. The other fluid loses their chemical composition. Valves and pipes connecting and linking these fluids to various parts break off and the fluid begins leaking off. Always take your car to an expert. The serviceman should check all fluid systems to make sure everything is working correctly.

Conclusion.

Long-term parking can help save costs such as fuel and so much more. However, that will only aid for a short period then the worst begins hitting you from every corner. From damaged tires, leaking car fluids, rust and paint peeling to complete car stalling is what awaits you if you decide to park your car for long. You can evade all that by still taking good care of your car at all times.

Almost every other car dealership offers you an extended warranty, immediately after you have exchanged money for that new or certified used car. You may fall for their words or not. Do not rush into signing a contract before getting to know more about extended warranties. When you get a new car, it comes with the factory’s warranty. The factory’s warranty plays a crucial role that is to cater for expenses associated with mechanical damages to the car. Most factory warranties do not last for long since they only have a short duration of use which is almost about 4-5 years. When the warranty expires, you are now responsible for expenses that come your way. Things will be tough for sure especially if you were dependant on the warranty.

An extended warranty is the remaining option. It plays an extended but much further role than the previous car maker’s warranty. It can be purchased from a dealership or a third party. Depending on your choice, you can get it from any of them. A-Protect Warranty Corporation should be a top priority on your list. We offer extensive and affordable extended warranties which are highly recommended for your car. Remember, no car will ever be immune to damages and breakdown whatsoever.

1.Original Car Maker’s Warranty.

This is the original warranty that comes with the car and is provided by the carmakers. This form of warranty is primarily meant to cover your car for a period of up to 5 years or 60,000 miles. In case you wish to resale your car, the warranty can be transferable to the next owner before its expiry is due. It excludes damages that are caused by other factors such as weather, accidents, and collisions. Just a tip, never buy a new car that lacks the original car maker warranty.

2. Third-party extended warranty.

This is an extended warranty that is purchased from third-party dealers. They are purchased as a continuation or an extension to the original car warranty. Third-party dealers can be car dealerships or companies established with the key purpose of providing extended warranties. Just like the original car warranty, they only cover mechanical damages and not other factors that cause damages to a car.

Types of extended warranty coverage.

Extended warranties fall into two major levels; Bumper to Bumper and Powertrain. These two are subdivided into smaller plans depending on the specific parts you want the car covered.

Bumper to Bumper warranty.

This is coverage for parts that is to cover for parts of a car from the front bumper to the rear bumper with the inclusion of drive train parts. These parts include electronic components, audio and infotainment system, interior, exterior bodywork, suspension, steering system, fuel injection system, and other accessories in a car. It a comprehensive coverage that is highly recommended for your car. Under the Bumper to Bumper warranty, there is a variety of plans you can choose from depending on the duration you want. These plans range from the longest-serving ones to the least. We have the Platinum coverage plan that covers up to 10+ years to the Bronze coverage that covers up to 6 years.

Powertrain warranty.

It is a coverage level that covers parts that are involved in powering the wheel of a car. These parts are usually very vital and expensive. We have the car engine, transmission, crankshaft, camshaft, axle shafts, and exhaust and intake manifolds. This form of coverage is vital in ensuring your car is top-notch and in good shape. It is divided into smaller plans that vary depending on the duration of coverage. The highest being Titanium coverage and the least Bronze.

Brakes are one of man’s greatest inventions which have been in existence ever since the eras where chariots were in use. Well, the brakes on the chariot were applied when the chariot came to halt. It was meant to prevent the chariot from being pulled by the horses as they seem to get restless. The brake was in form of a long piece of wood that was placed inside the wheels. It was until the 1800s when now a man came up with moving cars. It can be traced back to 1890 when the first brakes were used in the earliest steam cars. The brakes were almost similar to those used by the chariots since they used wooden blocks which pushed against the wheels when applied.

In 1920, the mechanical drum brakes were invented by the late Louis Renault. A French engineer and a great pioneer in the field of automobiles. That was the initial advancement made in the braking system in cars. Have you ever asked yourself which mechanism brings about the halting of a car? When you set foot on the brakes, the vehicle’s speed reduces and the car can halt. Well, there are several activities responsible for that but first, let us start by getting to know the types of brakes used in our cars.

Types of brakes.

1.Disk brakes.

This is one of the common types of brakes installed in many vehicles. It works simply by applying friction to the router which is in a disk shape. The caliper which is an attachment to the rotor is fitted with a pad. When brakes are applied, the caliper receives the signal through the brake fluid and presses hard on the rotor. The pads fitted in the caliper apply pressure onto the disk and reduced its speed according to the pressure applied on the brake pedal.

2.Drum brakes.

It’s kind of an older version system of braking which is not commonly used nowadays. You can still find it on older cars and motorcycles. It was only installed on to the rear axle of cars. This type of braking system does not have calipers nor brake pads. Instead, it used brakes shoes. These are curved and are kinked together by pistons. When braking is applied, they are pushed to the walls of the spinning drum.

Braking system.

This is a complex and very vital part of a car that guarantees safety for the passengers and the driver. A car without a working brake system is a direct ticket for disaster. Brakes worked through a combination of many parts which are involved in converting kinetic energy into heat. When you press the brake pedal, the pressure applied is transferred to the master cylinder. The master cylinder is a cylinder-like structure that is filled up with brake fluid. The pressure forces the brake fluid out of the master cylinder via interconnected tubings to the calipers. The calipers are connected to the wheel’s rotter using a mechanism that receives the pressure and pushed the brakes pads hard to the rotor. This reduces the rotor’s speed according to the pressure applies to the brake pedal.

How to maintain brake pads.

Brake pads usually have a lifespan of between 60,000km to 150,000km. Driving past the required miles is very dangerous to your safety. Also depending on your driving habits, brakes pads can only last longer with a careful driver. Below are some tips which can make your car’s brake pads last longer.

1.Keep up with the flow of traffic to avoid unnecessary emergency breaking.

Unnecessary braking means that you end up engaging the brake pads a lot. Remember, there is wear and tear. Doing so will help prevent a faster rate of wear and tear.

2.Avoid speeding.

This is the number one cause of road accidents on most of our roads. Frequent speeding and sudden braking make your brake pads get eaten up very fast. Since brake pads work by transforming kinetic energy into heat, it means that they end up wearing off quickly. Avoid speeding!

3. Do not overload your car often.

Heavyweight load is usually a challenge to the brake pads. Brake pads now have to deal with a much larger kinetic force which could at times make them lose off and accidents occur.

4. Check on your brake pads after every two years.

You should consider flushing your brakes after every two years so that your braking system can be in good form and condition. The brake fluid brings about corrosion to internal vital parts which can diminish the braking effectiveness. The fluid also attracts water and loses the properties that are necessary for braking.

Conclusion.

Brake pads on average cost up to $200 per axle to replace. If you use the above tips then you are on the good side and can avoid those huge expenses. Brakes are very vital and critical in the safety of a car. Maintenance and care for your car is also another huge contribution to the health of the brake. Don’t forget about good driving habits. A poor braking system could lead to unexpected expenses which can be too much to handle. A Protect Warranty Corporation is here to help you out with those unexpected expenses. This will enable you to have a smooth experience with your car. You will not be required to use your pennies to cater for any repairs.

Honda models cars are always made to perfection thus bringing out reliability and efficiency while using. The cars are made up of quality rich material made to sustain harsh conditions and long-term use. However, without proper care, long-term use cannot be achieved. This article will shed light on what you need to do to keep your car in good shape.

Just like any car, Damage and breakdown are very common. What if you’re being hit by a breakdown and by bad chance it demands a lot to repair?

An extended warranty plays a significant but more crucial role in securing your car against mechanical or electrical damages. You Honda in this case will be secured from all those breaks down and at the same time, your financial stability will be reinforced.

1.Get an oil change after every 7500 miles.

Oil is an essential component that works closely with the engine. It is very crucial to the point that an engine can suffer total damage when it is not fully functioning or rather missing. Oil performs an incredible task that brings about the normal functioning of the engine which is to power the wheels. The internal part of the engine is made up of metallic parts which are always moving and grinding against each other. This created heat due to friction. The oil then comes in to cool these parts and prevent them from further friction which can cause permanent damage to the engine. As the engine continues to work all round the clock, dust and debris pose another challenge. Oil circulating inside the engine chamber collects with it the dirt and debris. This is normal hence an oil filter is put in place. It clear and filters dirt off the oil. However, as time goes by, the dirt accumulates a lot in the filter making it unable to play its role well. You need to clean the oil filter often to reduce the chances of engine failure as a result of dirt particles.

2.Check will other fluids.

Just like our human bodies, cars also have a wide array of fluid each playing its role. We have the brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid. You need to be vigilant with these fluids at all times. A slight leak or decrease levels of the fluid is harmful to the car. Make to get under the bonnet hood and personally check on the levels of the fluids. Visit a nearby service center if you notice anything unusual.

3.Regular check-up and service routines are key.

You need to follow a tight service schedule and never miss a day. Service and check-ups are important to the well-being of the car. Early diagnosis is better than being slapped suddenly with a demanding replacement or repair. You can do that by yourself at how by just doing a basic check-up. Open the good, check if everything is right, and also check on the wheels. If you think you are not good at that, take your car to a nearby service center and get it checked by a qualified technician. A specialized computer connected to your car’s system through the on-board diagnosis port will get an in-depth analysis of your car and find out any problems.

4.Do wheel rotation and tire maintenance.

For longer use of your Honda Civic tires, you need to have a strict maintenance schedule. Tires are essential to a car. A slight failure to your car tires is very dangerous and can cause a devastating disaster. Wear and tear are very common to tires. To confirm whether your tires need to be changed, the check will the tread wear bars. If the tread wear bar is in line with the tread pattern, then you need to change the tire. Using an easy-to-find tool known as the depth gauge, you can read your tire’s measurements using the tool and determine how long to use the tire before you change it. Tire rotation is always another way of maintaining your wheel. After 6 months, you need to rotate your tires. The front one goes to the rear and the rear one to the front. The way will make the wear and tear even.

5. Get your car warranted and insured.

Insurance or warranty is also another way of placing your Honda civic in good shape. Insurance will cover your car from accidents, fire, and natural catastrophes such as floods. A warranty on the other hand will protect you from unforeseen expenses that result from mechanical and electrical damages.

Conclusion.

Using the above information, your Honda Civic will be for sure be in great shape and form. No one wants a problematic car that is at all times making you sink into your wallet to repair and fix.

For the last couple of decades ago, rust has been the number one killer of most classic and old vehicles we have in the junkyard. Only through a chemical reaction of air and moisture over metal, a brownish substance forms and costs over the metal Rust eats off the metal through the chemical reactions and makes the metal general weak. Rust has been a huge threat to the health and well-being of our cars for a long time. It is just a couple of years back when scantiest came up with techniques that can help combat this menace. Rustproofing is a process of protecting your car against agents of rust or rather delaying the rate of rust formations. It can be either permanent or for a given period all that depending on what the owner chooses. It is broken down into several different techniques and methods which will be discussed later. Keep reading!

After getting that brand new whip, the manager or the person in charge likely asked if you get extra rust protection for your car. This happens more often especially to those in the winter and cold regions. It is also likely that the same guy introduced you to an extended warranty. Well, before we dig deep into rustproofing, you need to know about an extended warranty. It is an extension to the original manufacturer’s warranty. Plays a similar role to the original warranty and is much comprehensive. You might have turned that person down reason being you did not believe if it is effective or maybe you knew nothing about it. Now that you know, you need to get one from us at A-Protect Warranty Corporation.

Before we get down to the pros and cons of rustproofing, you need to know the different types of rustproofing methods.

 Types of rustproofing methods.

1.Electric module.

The use of the electric module is a new concept developed to combat rust. It works through a small electric device that is connected to your car. The small device emits an electric current that flows through the car’s metallic structure. The current helps prevents the metal body from reacting with oxygen thus causing rust. However, unlike other methods, it is a little bit expensive.

2.Tar-based spray.

This method involves a tar-based spray being sprayed onto the cars and forms a barrier or acts as a shield against rust. When sprayed onto your car’s wheel, body panel, and any other exposed part, the fluid thickens over the surface thus preventing entry of water and oxygen which as we know are agents of rust formation. However, this form of rust protection does not guarantee a long time of protection. Over a given period, the layer begins to peel of hence exposing the bare p[arts to rust. You need to year redo the spraying so that the method can be effective.

Pros and cons of rust proofing.

Here are the pros and cons of rust proofing your car;

Pros.

1.Extends your car’s life.

 Rustproofing is one way of extending the life of your car. Since most vital parts are usually beneath the car’s belly, rustproofing protects them from rust which as we know is a deadly killer. Rust-causing elements find it hard to penetrate and cause harm to the vital parts.

2.Boosts the resale value of the car.

If you don’t plan to drive your car for a long time and wish to sell it shortly then you won’t need to worry a lot about its value. It is because rustproofing prevents rust from attacking and ruining your car’s state. Hence after a given period, you can sell your car while it is still in good shape.

Cons.

1.Only works best with new cars.

The right time to get a rust-proof done to your car is immediately after purchasing it. You don’t have to wait till it’s too late. This is because; doing a rust-proof for an old car is less effective or rather does not give amazing results in the end. For an old car, you won’t get the best result in it. You will strain a lot by first removing the already formed rust and dust beneath then applying it.

2.Needs to be redone after a given period.

 The ‘’permanent’’ of the rustproofing method is not a lifetime guarantee that your car will be protected forever. You need to redo the rustproofing method you used after a given period. In most cases, you need to do it after every 3-5 years. This is the only way to guarantee your car lifetime protection.

Conclusion.

Rust has been and shall never seize from existing. This means that our cars will forever be victims of rust. Rust should not be taken lightly as it can ‘’kill’’ your car within a very short span. However, being wise and protecting your car before things get worse is the only remedy. Get your car protected today and be free from the stress and expenses that come along with rust.

Most car owners by the fact all know how to drive. There are the more skilled ones, skilled ones, and newbies. However, amongst all those levels of driving experience, accidents, damages, and breakdowns are inevitable. These types of disasters do carry along a couple of bucks to get them fixed. In simple terms, expensive repairs come as a result of driving habits. It doesn’t matter how skilled and perfect you are behind the wheel. What matters a lot is the habit and behaviors you use while driving. Many will argue with the fact that driving habits affect the health and well-being of a car. It is true, the way you drive your car affects the car’s shape and form.

Now that disasters are never evadable, you need to get an extended warranty. This type of warranty protects you from unforeseen calamities which pose unexpected expenses to the owner. This distracts the car owner’s peace of mind and comfort. Sometimes the situation can worsen to the extent of permanent stalling of a once precious machine. You don’t want that to happen to you. Do not hesitate. Make that decision a.s.a.p. and come get an extended warranty from us at A-Protect Warranty Corporation.

Expensive repairs are usually a result of damages or any other failure on one or many parts of a vehicle. Driving habits are one of the main factors which affect repair expenses. Good driving habits mean that you won’t spend a lot of repairs whereas bad driving habits are vice versa. In most cases, the repair expenses are usually moderate and manageable. However, there reaches a point where repair expenses are too high. Well, this article will help find out how you can drive your car to avoid huge repair expenses.

Stop before shifting between reverse and drive.

Hurry hurry has no blessings! not at all. The same applies to shifting between the drive and reverse gears. When driving be it manual or automatic, you need to come to a complete stop before engaging either gear. The crunching of the two gears will cause devastating problems to your transmission system and the engine too. However, modern cars have an inbuilt inhibition system that prevents engaging reverse or forward while in motion. For old car versions, it is a bit different. These cars do not have an inhibition mechanism. Doing that is posing a huge risk to the transmission. If you try that and all goes wrong then prepare to pay. It is just advisable that you don’t try doing that no matter how old or modern your car is. Don’t!

Slow down on bumps and avoid portholes.

This is a clever way of avoiding unnecessary damages to the car. Due to ignorance and recklessness, most drivers bump into bumps while speeding and also slam in to portholes without evading. This is by far the silliest thing to do. As a good driver, you need to slow down when a bump is ahead of you. No matter how shallow a porthole might look, always try to avoid it. The vice versa causes damage to the wheel alignment, steering, suspension, and also the tires. Hitting a bump while speeding affects the steering wheel mechanism. This might also extend to losing control and handling thus cause accidents.

 Avoid Overloading.

This is a common mistreating we show our cars. We always want to put in a much cargo as possible and fill the car to the brim. A car has the specific cargo load limit it is supposed to carry. Surpassing that level means you overloading it. Overloading increases stress to the powertrain, brakes, and suspension of a car. Any damage to those parts is something you never want to experience. You will end up spending a lot to fix the repairs.

Respond to dashboard alerts.

A car has an inbuilt system that can detect any faults the car might be having. These faults are displayed on the car’s dashboard to alert the driver. Ignorance is one thing that kills a car. Most drivers ignore the important alerts displayed. Over time, faults get more and more devastating bringing the car to complete stalling. You need to immediately fix any repair alert popping on your dashboard or else you will be digging a grave for your car.

Conclusion.

Driving habits have a close relation to the well-being of your car. We wish to drive in perfect working cars which are free from frequent errors. Yes, that is possible but only if we put in the above and more good driving habits. An extended warranty will also be a plus to the car.

The engine mount is one of the most reported issues that Mercedes Benz cars have. Engine mount perform a very crucial role which is to hold the engine and the transmission firmly on the frame.

The internal parts are always grinding against each other. The grinding fastens wear and tear hence frequent failures. This needs a lubricant. On top of that, the engine generates temperatures that can be too high to cause explosions. Oil cools down the engine’s high temperatures hence regulating the internal temperatures from bringing disaster to the engine. Since most Mercedes Benz cars use synthetic oil rather than conventional oil, you have up to 10,000 miles to get an oil change.

3. Always inspect the drive belts.

A Mercedes Benz drive belt is meant to only run for up to 40,00 miles after which you need to replace it for a new one. A drive belt is responsible for conveying power from the crankshaft to alternator, steering pump, air conditioning compressor and water pump. By closely monitoring the well-being of a drive belt, you will evade sudden repair repairs expenses that result from problems which are hard to see.

3. Adhere to the service schedule.

Following a strict service schedule is one way of ensuring your Mercedes Benz is secure from breakdowns and failures. Cars were never made immune to faults. Cars are assets that depreciate over time. In most cases, faults don’t just happen suddenly. They are usually developing into bigger problems over a given period. It is wise to maintain and follow your service schedule.
