How to take care of your car?

Shielding the windshields
Most people overlook windshields and their maintenance. Please don’t become one of them. A dirty and grimy windshield is a safety hazard because it distracts your attention from the road and obscures your vision. So, it is advisable to give it a regular, thorough cleaning.
