If there’s a chill in air and clutter in the garage, you can often force your car out of the cold.
“Like any other meaningful and valuable item in our life, cars need protection,” said Alan Taylor of Car & Driver Radio. “I’m often asked how people can make their cars last longer, and it’s not always just about the mechanics, it is also about protection and shelter.

It doesn’t matter whether its colors are losing or it’s taking longer to fully develop. “warm”You can’t drive your car in the cold winter mornings. Mother Nature’s elements will take their toll. Now is the best time to return the car to the garage as the temperature drops.
Garages are littered with tools, gardening equipment, shovels, rakes, and even basketballs. There is little space for cars to park, and very little room to maneuver in them.
“Getting the car in the garage starts with getting the garage in order,” says do-it-yourself expert Karl Champley. Champley says that organizing the garage is the first step in getting the car inside. Champley suggests lifting junk from the floor and placing it on the wall. Too often, the walls are left unutilized as storage space. People often leave things on the floor and not support them. This means that they could fall on the car or scratch it if they bump into it.
Champley suggests these tips to get your car clean and keep it from getting damaged.
