Many car owners love driving but do not prioritise maintenance, and may even be unsure of what to look out for or how to care for their vehicles properly. This guide will show you why it is important to look after your vehicle inside and out.
From how to keep car interiors clean and ensuring tyres are safe, to changing your car's exterior, these tips from exhibitors at The Car Expo will help new and experienced drivers keep their rides in good shape. 

A clean, allergen-free ride: Keeping your car interior spotless

Whether it is floor mats littered with twigs, leaves and debris or car seats harbouring dust mites, the Germany Dolphin vacuum cleaner is the perfect tool for keeping the interior of your ride spick and span. Featuring a water filtration cleaning system and multiple vacuum attachments, it not only removes dirt, but also eliminates dust mites and purifies the air. Besides getting rid of dust and dirt in your car, it can also be used at home and in the office.

How to check and maintain your tyres for safer rides

It is the island’s only workshop and retailer certified by French tyre-maker Michelin and also carries other brands such as Goodyear, Hankook and Nexen.
