Most of us love our cars, and we certainly rely on them daily to help make our lives easier.

Grocery shopping, taking the kids to school or other events, going out on date night and our daily commute. Where would we be without our cars, trucks, minivans or SUVs?

We aren’t always very nice to our cars, though. We slam on the brakes, step heavy on the gas and sometimes use the steering wheel as a drum set.
This Valentine’s Day, while most people give the ones they love candy or flowers, consider showing your vehicle a little TLC.

Top Ways to Show Your Car That You Care

1. Sparkle and Shine
Treat your car to a thorough exterior wash. You can do it yourself or use a car wash service. If you have the cash, go all out and get it detailed. Everyone says that a clean car runs better and while this may not be true, you will certainly feel better driving a sparkly clean ride! If it seems counterproductive to have your car cleaned and detailed in February in Illinois, schedule some time now to come back to this in March or April.

2. Give the Interior Some Attention
If you are doing it yourself, don’t forget to give the interior a real deep cleaning this Valentine’s day. Whether you wash your old seat covers, buy a new set of seat covers, or just wash the originals, your car will smell as good as it looks.

3. Clean the Air- Inside and Out
You may not be able to afford a new satellite radio, but you can probably spring for new air filters, both for the air you breathe inside the vehicle and the air going into your engine. Bring your car by Bockman’s Auto Care and let us see if it’s time to replace your engine air filter or your cabin filter.

4. Give It That Scheduled Maintenance
No one likes spending money on maintenance items, but your car sure appreciates the effort! If you’ve been putting off scheduled maintenance, call Bockman’s today for an appointment. We will be happy to give your ride all the attention it deserves. You’ll feel better than you have in ages and your car will thank you with trouble-free service for many miles to come.
