We at Lincoln of Smithtown love to give people tips about vehicle care and one of our biggest tips for exterior wear and tear is the use of a car cover. A car cover can offer you security against harsh weather, the heat of the sun, scratches, dings while it is parked and sometimes theft.

The sun can do a lot of damage to your car, especially if it isn't garaged. Covering it will allow the interior dash and seats to be protected from fading. The exterior will also be protected from paint fading. 

The differential works to transfer the power of the transmission to the drive shaft so the wheels turn. The case must keep the fluids covering the gears so that they do not grind and overheat.

The gears inside the differential are working hard to turn the wheels when you need to change direction. The fluids in the differential need to be of the highest quality because these gears are moving all the time.

A clean car looks far better than a dirty one. There is even an “illusion” that your car drives better immediately after being washed or when coming out of a car wash in Saint James! But, how often do you really concentrate on cleaning the wheels and tires?

Typically, drivers clean their wheels and tires with the same water used for their car, rinse them off, and then call it a day!
