As the monsoon rolls into Bangalore, it’s not just the weather that changes — your car’s needs do too. Rainy conditions can take a toll on your vehicle and compromise safety if you’re not prepared. At Repairow we care about your journey, so here are essential tips to keep your car running smoothly and your family safe this rainy season.
Check Your Tyres
Wet roads reduce grip. Worn-out tyres can lead to skidding or hydroplaning. Ensure: 1) Tread depth is above 2.5 mm. 2) Tyre pressure is maintained correctly (neither over nor under-inflated). 3) You rotate and balance tyres if due.
Test the Brakes
Slippery roads demand responsive brakes. Listen for: 1) Squeaky or grinding noises. 2) Longer braking distance. 3) Spongy pedal feel. If you notice anything off, visit Repairow for a quick brake check-up.
Seal the Electricals
Rain and electronics don’t mix well: 1) Get your battery checked, especially if it’s over three years old. 2) Ensure headlights, brake lights, and indicators work properly. 3) Ask us to waterproof vulnerable connections.
Protect the Undercarriage
Monsoon puddles can cause rusting and damage: 1) Opt for underbody coating — we offer it at Repairow. 2) Wash your car regularly to remove mud and grime.
Don’t Ignore the Interiors
Mold, damp smells, and foggy windows? Avoid them by: 1) Using moisture-absorbing packets inside. 2) Vacuuming mats and seats weekly. 3) Keeping AC filters clean to reduce humidity buildup.
Inspect the Wipers & Washer Fluid
In Bangalore, heavy rain can hit suddenly. Good visibility is crucial: 1) Replace brittle or streaky wiper blades. 2) Top up windshield washer fluid with water + cleaning solution. 3)Try hydrophobic windshield treatments for improved visibility.
