The average American driver spends 600 hours each year in their car - that's roughly 25 whole days. With all that time in a vehicle, you can imagine you may need to do some cleaning and decluttering. Not only can piling up things in your car diminish the appearance, but it can also weigh your car down, increasing your fuel consumption. Today, we are going to go over the best decluttering tips for your car!   In order to start the organization process, first, you need to take everything out so you can do inventory. That way, you have a clear view of what needs to be thrown out, stored away, or kept in the car. An essential item to invest in for your vehicle is a small trash can. If not, you should bring along some leftover grocery bags to use as trash bags. As a result, you'd have a designated area to throw trash away.   Most of the time, the most significant source of clutter in cars comes from storing temporary items. The things typically include sports equipment ... read more

If you're a person who likes to keep their car spotless, then you probably understand the annoyance of having blurry or oxidized headlights. The bad thing about oxidized headlights isn't just that they are visually unattractive, but too dim of lights can impact your visibility during your night drives.    Vehicle headlights in older model cars had been made from glass. However, the headlights on newer cars have evolved and converted to be made with solid and sturdy plastic. While the thicker materials are firm, it's still penetrable. They come with a covering, but with usage over time, the layer can become damaged. The most common problem we've seen at European Auto Motors is oxidation on headlights.   Before you can get started on removing the gunk off your car, you need to know where the oxidation is: Is it on the inside or outside of your light? If the defect is on the exterior part of your headlight, you can follow the straightforward instructions ... read more

Your vehicle's internal system is made up of so many components that are constantly in motion. The process that all these parts go through can endure an incredible amount of friction and heat. One of these pieces is the water pump, which plays an essential function in your vehicle's cooling system by transferring coolant from the radiator and supplying it throughout the engine system to keep everything at a stable temperature. You can find your water pump under your hood.   When you have a malfunctioning water pump, your engine will be at risk of overheating. An overheating engine can spread damage to the cylinder heads, gaskets, and pistons. If the damage to the water pump goes unnoticed, it could lead to a catastrophic breakdown. Be on the watch for the common indications of a faulty water pump:    Coolant Leak Your car's water pump is responsible for regulating the constant flow of coolant from the radiator to the engine block. Wear and tear on these ... read more

It can be pretty challenging to keep our cars looking as new as when we first bought them. Most people do not have the time, knowledge, and tools necessary to keep their vehicles clean. You achieve the "new car smell" and look if you considered getting the service of car detailing. Not only will it help you maintain the value of your car, but you will also feel confident riding around the town.    Differences Between Car Detailing and Car Wash The simple answer is to the blog title: ABSOLUTELY. There is a noticeable difference between a car wash and car detailing. The two services may sound similar, but they are immensely different. The first factor is cost - it is significantly less expensive for a car wash than a car detail. This is because a car detail, as the name suggests, involves more processes and is more tedious.

We suggest you bring a kennel or doggie car seat with you to keep your furry friend guarded. Additionally, you can find specific harnesses at pet stores that attach to your vehicle’s seat belt.    Remember to pack for your pet. There ... read more
