How to make your old car feel new

Through every mile, every bump in the road, and every commute, your old reliable Clermont Toyota car has been there. It starts up whenever your key turns in the ignition, drives to where you need it to go, and all in all always has your back. While your old Toyota car is as reliable as they come, the miles are probably starting to show. The interior doesn’t look as clean as it used to, and the exterior is starting to look a little dingy. If you’re looking to rekindle that fresh off the lot feeling you once had. Lucky for you, Toyota of Clermont is here with a guide to freshen up your old Toyota car.

Even your car needs a makeover

Upgrade your tech

Changing out the tech in your vehicle may seem like it would cost an arm and a leg, but it’s surprisingly inexpensive and will give your old Toyota car a bit of pizzazz. Try looking for a new infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity. Think about installing a backup camera and possibly upgrading your speakers.

Restore your headlights

Over time, the headlights on your Clermont old Toyota car will begin to yellow and dim. Get your lights shining bright again with an inexpensive restoration kit.

Clean your Clermont old Toyota car top to bottom

You should periodically clean your vehicle inside and out to retain its good looks. But if it’s been sometime since your carpets last saw a vacuum then it’s time for a cleaning. Start with the interior, paying attention to all the surfaces. Vacuum the carpets and get in between the seats to remove any food left behind from the drive thru. Shampoo the carpets, wipe down all surfaces with the right cleaner, and dust your dashboard.

Get things smelling fresh from the driver’s seat

Over time, your old Toyota car may begin to smell less than flowery. As your A/C ages, mold and mildew can build up, or things in the interior could contribute to a bad smell. If the smell is coming from the A/C, have one of our Toyota of Clermont auto service techs inspect it immediately to ensure that you’re not breathing in toxic air. If the odor is coming from the interior, make sure to clean every surface thoroughly.

Get your car a new pair of shoes

Everyone knows that getting a new pair of kicks can totally upgrade an outfit and get you some serious clout. When it comes to your Clermont old Toyota car, replacing the tires can not only breathe some life into its look, it can also keep your commute safe. While you’re at it, you may want to also change out the wheels for something cooler that’ll draw more attention.
