Hopefully spring has sprung in your neck of the woods, and you’re starting to think about getting everything tidied up after a long winter. In this two-part series, the South East Car Removal team is going to give you some master tips on how to spring clean your car. For our first post, we’re going to talk about how to spring clean the inside of your car, with a few handy tips and spots you may forget to clean. Check it out below: Tip 1: Clean Out the Trunk During the winter months, it’s smart to keep some basic supplies on hand in case of emergency.

Today, we’re going to tackle the outside of your vehicle. The winter months take a harsh toll on your car. With all the mud that comes from inclement weather and salt on the roads, your car needs a serious bath when the weather warms up. Here are some tips to get you started: Tip 1: Swap Out Your Winter Gear If you live in a climate that mandates you have snow tires, it’s time to switch them out for warmer weather ones! Snow tires aren’t designed to perform as well in the summer months, and leaving them on too long could cause unnecessary wear and tear on them. While you’re at it, it might be time to change out your windshield wipers, too. Worn out wipers will leave you in a world of hurt if you get stuck driving in a summer shower. Tip 2: De-Bug Your Grille While spring is great because the weather is finally warming up and the flowers are blooming, it also means that all the bugs and insects will be back out in full force. If you can’t stand having a grille covered in squashed in...

Every car owner aims to keep their car, truck , van or SUV running for as long as possible, but eventually there comes a time when you need to decide to sell your car or continue investing money in it. That moment may come at different stages of a vehicle’s life cycle depending on the make and model of the car you own, but the real question you need to ask yourself is: when is it time for me to sell my car and purchase a newer model? First Step: Find out the Value of Your Used Car A lot of people think that the best way to help you determine the current worth of your car is to check out a site. When you visit a valuation website you’ll be asked a number of questions, including: The number of miles your vehicle has on it, the year, make and model, and overall condition.
