  • If you want to keep your car in near-perfect condition, you should wash it on a regular basis. If you live in an area where the air is salty (like near the beach) you might have to wash it even more often. When you wash your car, make sure you also wax it. Wax is meant to protect your car from the elements and can protect your car from needing an auto repair in Charlotte.
  • Inspect your car while you wash your car. Make sure that there aren't any nicks or scratches on the paint of your car. If a scratch exposes metal, it can start to rust thanks to oxidization. Swing by our Toyota Collision Center in Charlotte is spot a scratch on your car.

If you put this off, it might be too late by the time you notice and can lead to an expensive auto repair in Charlotte!
