The winter weather in Seattle isn’t always predictable. Between heavy rain, snowfall, and icy road conditions, winter weather can wreak havoc on your car’s exterior. Luckily, there are some precautions that you can take to prevent any winter-induced mishaps so that you can keep your car in great condition.

 

Here are a few of our top tips at A1 Auto Body to protect your car from winter weather conditions: 

 

Repair small dings, dents, rust, and other blemishes on your car before they get worse: It can be tempting to ignore small imperfections on your car’s exterior, but doing so may end up costing you much more money down the road. Over time, even the smallest dings, dents, and scratches can develop into larger problems due to winter weather exposure. If you notice any blemishes on your car’s exterior, it’s best to get a quick and easy repair at a body shop to prevent further damage. 

 

Park your car in an indoor garage or use a protective cover if parked outdoors: It is ideal to park your car inside a covered garage, but not everyone has space. If you do park your car outside, invest in a good outdoor protective cover to place on your car. These covers can help prevent damage from falling branches and other scratches and minor dings. 

 

Be diligent in washing and waxing your car properly: No matter the weather conditions, it’s always important to wash and wax your car correctly. Over time, debris can accumulate on your car’s exterior and cause damage to the paint and dull its shine. If you don’t have time to do a full wash and wax, make sure to at least spot clean the exterior if you notice anything. 

 

Make sure to winterize your vehicle: Don’t wait for the weather to get nasty before you winterize your car! Prepare for the upcoming colder months by replacing old windshield wipers, using winter tires, checking your car’s battery life, and purchasing an ice scraper to keep in your car, just in case.
