Back to school is coming up quick, and we know you're probably in a crunch trying to fit everything in before it arrives. Not only do you want to enjoy the rest of your summer break, you also have to buy school supplies, uniforms, gear, sign up for sports, set up the carpool... the list can seem endless. However, there's one more thing that you should add to it if you want your back-to-school experience to be seamless, easy, and efficient - getting your car prepped.
Luckily, prepping your Orlando Toyota for back to school won't take excessive amounts of time or money. Here are our top tips to make it happen!
Four ways to prep your Orlando Toyota for back to school
Tip #1: Detail it now. Clean your car and detail the interior and exterior BEFORE back to school arrives. The hustle and bustle will be much more pleasant in a clean car and it'll be easier to find everything on those busy mornings. We recommend washing and waxing the exterior, vacuuming and wiping the interior, cleaning all the glass, scrubbing the wheels, and getting rid of any trash or clutter inside your Orlando Toyota.
Tip #2: Organize everything. Get organized before you get back to school. We know kids require a lot of gear, so make your life easier by investing in things like a cargo or trunk organizers and over-the-seat organizers. Make sure your glovebox and center console are organized, too, and keep the car tidy. Remember, junk can become projectiles in the event of a car accident!
Tip #3: Pack carefully. Take a few minutes to pack up your car with the supplies you need for a smooth back to school experience. This means ensuring that your spare tire kit, jumper cables, extra phone charging cord, tool kit, and flashlight are all packed. You'll also want to throw some non-perishable snacks and bottled water into the mix - they can help curb the after-school crankiness.
Tip #4: Catch up on car maintenance. Are you all caught up on your routine car maintenance at our Orlando car care center? Make sure you're up to date on things like oil changes, tire rotations, battery checks, and brake service before you hit the road. And don't forget, our Orlando car care techs will check your car from bumper to bumper in a free multi-point inspection before you leave.
