We here at Rick Roush Honda encourage you to get your car washed at least once per week or twice per month at most. It can be hard to make time to do so, but here are the reasons why you should.

The Case for Weekly Washes

Weekly washes clear away the debris your car picks up daily. If you commute daily and park your car in the open, your car picks up dust, pollen, bug guts, airborne pollutants and salt. It also occasionally collects tree sap and bird droppings.

Hatchbacks are also generally more stylish than sedans without having the look of a station wagon. The overall body style is not box-like. The curves and lines of the vehicle might convey elegance or a more sporty design. As the vehicles are typically smaller, they offer heightened maneuverability...

 

When you are out driving the streets of Medina, one of the worst driving experiences that you can have is to have a flat tire. You will need a good spare tire to get back on the road again. There are two kinds of spare tires for cars. There are compact spare tires and full-sized spare tires.
