At Pronto Insurance, we know just how much a vehicle means to you and your loved ones, which is why we want to offer some more valuable information! Continue keeping your car in great shape and enjoy the benefits it can bring later.<\/p>\n
Your vehicle includes very important rubber parts like hoses and belts that are meant to last a long period. However, factors like temperatures, age, and use can shorten their lifespans. Not surprisingly, disuse is an even bigger culprit!<\/p>\n
The longer your car stays inactive, the more likely those rubber parts are to dry, crack, and cause leaks or weaknesses. We recommend checking these components before, during, and after leaving your car parked for long periods of time.<\/p>\n
Not everyone has a garage or access to a top-of-the-line car cover to protect it from the elements or bird droppings. Therefore, it\u2019s important to monitor your car\u2019s exterior often. If you notice a large amount of dust buildup or droppings that can potentially damage the paint, it may be time to give your car a wash.<\/p>\n
There are many myths out there about things you need to do if your car is going to be unused for a while. But we\u2019re here to set the record straight. If you won\u2019t be using your car, you definitely don\u2019t need to:

\n\u2022 Change out your coolant\/antifreeze \u2013 again, most modern coolant and antifreeze last a lifetime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
