Close Maintenance Tips for Your Unused Vehicle in Mobile, AL
There may be a time when you don’t need to drive your Mitsubishi Outlander, Eclipse Cross, or Mirage for an extended period. When that happens, it’s not enough to leave it parked in your driveway in Mobile. Learn from our Service Department experts about the steps you should take and when you should bring your unused vehicle to us at Mobile Mitsubishi for additional service.
Keep the Battery Operational
People who leave their Mitsubishi models sitting for a long time often find that the car won’t turn over when they attempt to start it. That’s because your average car battery is going to discharge while it’s not working. A good practice is to unhook the battery cables before storing your car to preserve its charge. Even then, it won’t last forever, especially with the heat in this area. Instead, take about half an hour every two weeks to drive along I-65. When you do that, the alternator will charge the battery so that it can perform its duties without fail.
Store Your Mitsubishi Properly
Another way you can be proactive about keeping your Mitsubishi in good shape when you’re not driving it is by using proper storage methods. That means you’ll want to park it somewhere that is not out in the open. After all, the harsh sunlight can beat down on the same spot on the car all summer long, causing rubber pieces to dry out or the interior to fade. A basic remedy to this is to work with our Parts Department to find a suitable cover that will fit on your vehicle. Still, that only offers a moderate level of protection for your Mitsubishi. The best thing you can do is use a cover in conjunction with a garage or other enclosed storage area. That way, the impacts of weather shifts and wildlife on the car are reduced.
Take Part in Routine Maintenance
Even though you may not be putting miles on the vehicle’s odometer, it’s important to continue your routine maintenance schedule. That means checking your tire pressure, replacing worn parts like wiper blades, and even changing the oil. After all, some parts of your Mitsubishi naturally degrade over time. The oil in your car will absorb some moisture from the atmosphere, requiring you to change it at least once or twice a year. Fortunately, you won’t have to guess about the type of services you need. Before putting your car in storage, consult our team of experts to get their recommendations for the specific kinds of routine maintenance your Mitsubishi needs. That way, it will be ready to go when you want to use it for a trip to Crestview Park. If you have any other questions about this model, do not hesitate to contact us!
