Most of us take great pride in our cars. We appreciate their sleek lines, their shiny paint, and the way they effortlessly transport us from one destination to another. But have you ever stopped to consider the importance of keeping your car clean? Sure, there's that "clean car feeling" that will make you feel better immediately and is a compelling enough reason on its own, but there are several other factors that are just as enticing. So if you haven't washed your car in awhile, here's your reminder to get out there and give your vehicle some love.

Your car's exterior is exposed to natural and man-made elements whether it's driving down the road or parked in a garage. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, and even air pollution can build-up and wreak havoc on your car's clear coat, leading to unsightly blemishes and potential long-term damage.

But go through the automatic car wash at your nearest, participating Bobby & Steve's Auto World location and you can:

Protect Your Investment: Your car is more than a means of transportation; it's an investment. Regular washing removes corrosive substances like salt, which can accumulate on your car's surface, especially during winter months. These substances can eat away at your car's paint, leading to costly repairs down the road. By keeping your car clean, you protect its value and mitigate depreciation.

Preserve Resale Value: Whether you plan to trade-in or sell your car in the future, maintaining its appearance goes a long way toward netting a better resale price. A clean car with a well-preserved exterior is simply more likely to fetch a higher resale value. Potential buyers are attracted to a car that looks well-maintained, since it suggests that the vehicle has been taken care of and may have fewer hidden issues. Add a strong maintenance history to a clean exterior and you have a powerful combination.

Prevent Oxidation: Over time, exposure to sunlight, rain, and other environmental factors can cause your car's paint to oxidize. This not only leads to a dull, faded appearance but also makes your car more susceptible to rust and other forms of damage. Regular washing helps to remove contaminants that promote oxidation, keeping your car looking fresh and preventing future costly repairs.

To make car washing more convenient, we've partnered with XpresWash to offer our customers the opportunity to enjoy unlimited car washes for a set monthly price! This hassle-free solution not only saves time but also helps maintain your car's appearance and value almost effortlessly.

Regularly washing your car is not just about keeping up appearances; it's about protecting your investment, preserving its resale value, preventing oxidation, and of course, making you feel good behind the wheel. It's time to invite your friends for a joyride. Take a drive to Bobby & Steve's Auto World and make your vehicle shine!
