Scratches, dents, broken interiors—all of these come with owning a car. It’s good to know that for everything that our car does for us, we still have to deal with problems that are bound to arise. However, you can always prevent these inconveniences from coming up sooner than you think. Here are some of the best and inexpensive ways to save you from those dreadful trips to the repair shop.
Clean Your Headlights
Your headlights serve as your eyes on the road and they are bound to appear clouded after a few years. Replacing your headlights can be costly, but there’s a cheaper alternative that involves something that you always have around the house.
To clean your headlights, use toothpaste on a brush or rag and scrub them with it. You might start to doubt this process but the aftermath is astounding. Toothpaste cleans your headlights and restores them as if they’re new. Do this every few years and you won’t have a reason to replace those headlights.
Fill Cracks on Glass
Your windshield protects you from debris on the road that can fly straight at your face while you drive. Due to this, it’s inevitable for this part of the car to get damaged and have cracks overtime. While replacing the whole windshield can be an option, you can use nail polish to fill in small cracks and prevent them from spreading across the windshield. It is recommended to use clear nail polish, but it’s really up to you.
Use Stockings to Reinforce Your Windshield
There will come a time when your wipers are worn out enough to fall off. If you don’t replace them right away, there is a big chance that they will scratch your windshield creating permanent damage. Wrap your old stockings around the arms of the wiper to reinforce them and prevent them from scratching the glass.
Use Laundry Baskets to Organize Your Trunk
If you use your car for every activity that you do, you might look like you’re living in your car with all the junk that you keep in it. The best thing to do is to put all of your things in the trunk of your car and organize them by using laundry baskets. Use one laundry basket for every activity that you do. You can even color-code your laundry baskets to help you identify them easier.
All of these efforts to save money on your car repairs should be backed by a car insurance policy with good coverage.
