Car Safety Tips for This Spooky Season

 It’s that time of year when nights are more frightful and things are just a tad more spooky than normal. Not that things aren’t always spooky, driving’s actually scary. For real. Anyway, I digress. This time of the year, like the rest of the year, is ripe with fright and other hazards looking to inflict ill will upon your ride.

Luckily, Toyota of Clermont is here with some car safety tips to keep yourself, others, and your whip safe this season. Let’s get spooky!

Survive the Night with These Car Safety Tips

The night is young and full of fright. If you want to stay safe, follow these tips:

Park Carefully

Some of the worst forms of damage can happen to your Clermont car when you’re not looking. Especially when you’re parked in a parking lot or other crowded locale. Door dings, dents, and scratches are all in store for you. The solution? Park in an area with fewer people to avoid getting a damaged door (or worse).

Watch Out for Pedestrians

Not that this only applies to Halloween or the fall, but this time of year is especially critical for pedestrian-car safety. In Clermont, the weather is cooler and more people are choosing to walk outside. Make sure you pay closer attention to your surroundings and always give pedestrians the right of way in every scenario.

Wash Your Car Regularly

Fall means the changing of the leaves and an increased pollen count. While it’s both beautiful and allergy-inducing, it can also wreak havoc on your Clermont Toyota car’s paint. This car safety tip? Wash your ride regularly. If you want to preserve your car’s paint, make sure to keep it clean.

Don’t Delay Your Auto Service

With your mind thoroughly focused on treats and tricks, you might have forgotten to schedule that oil change or get those brakes checked. While you might be thinking about the holiday, your Clermont Toyota most certainly doesn’t care. Listen to your careless vehicle for this car safety tip. Schedule your auto service and get everything checked before you canvas the neighborhood for the coolest Halloween decor.
