Autofix Car Repair & Service Center in Dubai

Your car is perhaps among the most precious things you own. It is not only about the monetary value of the car you own, there is often an emotional connection many have with their car.

However, many often do not give proper care or attention to one's vehicle. The interior of a car is as important as the exterior. Keeping the interior clean and good-looking is a matter of pride for self and invites admiration from others. Moreover, a clean and hygienic interior adds to the good health of the passengers too.

Car interior detailing is a necessary aspect of regular servicing. Though minor detailing and cleaning can be taken care of by self, deep cleaning and detailing needs expert supervision. Every once in a while one must take the car for interior detailing work at the service station to keep the vehicle in top condition.

Why interior detailing

•  It improves the appearance and beauty of your car.
•  It helps keep the interior clean and allows for fresh air circulation in the car.
•  It adds to the resale value of the vehicle.
• It increases the lifespan of the car.
• It reduces the need for spending a lot on service in the long run.
• The engine of the car remains in good condition.
• The vehicle gives good performance even in adverse climates.

Things to keep in mind for car interior detailing

• Include car interior detailing service as part of your routine regular service, and make interior detailing a habitual service activity- either full interior detailing or a partial one.
• Clear out any valuables, important documents and other items from the vehicle. 
• Remove any additional accessories or add-ons from inside the vehicle like child protection seats, interior décor items, small cushions, boxes etc, so that the technician has enough room and clear interior space to work on.
• Have a detailed assessment of the works to be performed in detailing. Inform the service centre about all work you require to be done. Works like polishing and waxing need not be performed regularly in every interior detailing service. But cleaning of vents, vacuuming, glass cleaning, scrubbing and deep cleaning of carpets and mats etc. need to be performed regularly.
• Check if lubrication to all hinges and latche areas of the car has been added. Door hinges, boot and bonnet hinges may become squeaky or rusted due to overuse. Adding lubrication to these parts during the car interior detailing must not be overlooked. 
• Ensure that the floor mats and carpets are scrubbed clean. These are the places that absorb the most amount of dirt and dust during your car ride. Observe any holes or damages to these articles. In such cases get them replaced for a clean car interior.
• Invest a little in a good quality interior air purifier after a thorough car interior detailing service to keep the airflow healthy and the interior feeling good for a long time.
