Easy ways to make your old car feel new

Your Orlando Toyota car has been with your through thick and thin. Every trip to work, every trip out of town, and everywhere in between and your old car has been there. But, after all the mileage, your car may start to feel like it’s getting a bit worn and old. Just like people, cars need makeovers too and, luckily, it’s not too difficult or expensive to pull off. At Toyota of Orlando, we’ve spoken with our auto service experts and created a guide on how to make your old car feel new again!

A makeover for your old car

Clean everything

While you may already be doing a routine interior cleaning by vacuuming the carpets and wiping the dashboard, our Toyota of Orlando auto service experts recommend taking the cleaning a step further. Shampoo the carpets and seats, dive in between the seat cushions, and scrub the dashboard and accent pieces a little harder. This will probably seem exhausting after a while, but your interior will thank you and maintaining the clean will be easier. Plus, this gives you an opportunity to inspect problem areas in the interior of your Orlando Toyota old car.

Upgrade your tech

If your car’s technology is a little on the dated side, it might be time to think about upgrading. A new infotainment system could be fairly inexpensive, depending on the system you choose. You also might want to consider upgrading your speakers for better sound quality. Better sound during your commute in your old car can make all the difference.

Get your headlights shining bright again

Orlando Toyota headlights suffer dulling and yellowing over time. If your old car’s headlights have seen brighter days, it’s time for a little restoration. Headlight restoration kits are inexpensive and simple to use.

Keep things smelling fresh

Age looks good on some, but the same can’t be said for your old car’s A/C system. Our Toyota of Orlando auto service techs recommend having your air conditioning inspected regularly to prevent mold and mildew buildup. To keep the air in your Orlando Toyota car smelling fresh, diligently inspect and replace the A/C filters and use a deodorizer to take care of any odors that may have built up.

Your car needs a new pair of shoes

Wheels and tires for your Orlando Toyota car aren’t the cheapest parts you can get for your vehicle, but they’re necessary to keep your car performing correctly. Your tires are the one part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road and investing in a good new set of tires will go a long way.
