    5 Ways to Prepare Your Car for Auto Transport

    Transporting your vehicle across the country is now stress-free, thanks to companies that provide long-distance transport services. Despite the convenience that these companies offer, you still have to make sure to take care of the car on your end before the scheduled move. 

    Generally, the auto transport company’s job is to load your vehicle on a multi-car carrying truck then deliver it to your chosen destination. If you want to see your car arrive in your expected form, you need to make all the necessary preparations before calling the company that provides auto transport nationwide. Here are the ways to prep your car before the company picks it up for shipping. 

    Clean the Interior 

    Transferring the car inside a carrying truck can shake it up while on the road. It can cause some of the unsecured contents inside to get tossed and misplaced. To avoid this, clean the inside of your car and remove the things that are not secured. It includes the loose change and air fresheners lying around the vehicle. Remove all the electronics inside the car, including the chargers and supporting cables. It is necessary to prevent these items from banging into the walls when the car bounced inside the carrying truck. 

    Avoid Refueling 

    Since you do not need to drive your car during the transportation process, refueling your car is no longer necessary. Your vehicle will only get heavier if you have plenty of gas in the tank. The additional weight will only slow down the carrying truck and can add more risk to the shipment. So make sure that you leave as little fuel as possible in the tank when preparing your car for its scheduled transport. 

    Wash the Car 

    If you want to make sure that your car is scratch-free, wash it thoroughly before calling the auto transport nationwide service provider. Most of the time, dust and dirt can conceal small dents and minor scratches in the car’s exteriors. So, make sure that your vehicle is clean before doing a thorough inspection to see if there are any damages before the shipping process. It will assure you that your car will reach the destination without any blemishes from your end. 

    Inspect For Leaks

    Before the shipping company loads your vehicle in the carrying truck, check the undercarriage first to see if there are any apparent leaks. Inspect all the six essential car fluids to know which one seeps out. Once the car shipping service provider notices that your car has an aggressive leak, they may refuse to take them anywhere until you fix the car leak. So make sure to have it repaired before you ask the company to load it in the truck. 

    Take Away the Custom Accessories

    To avoid any possibilities of breaking the car spoiler and other customized accessories during the transit, remember to remove it first before letting the shipping company load it into the truck. It will help you avoid the risk of damaging the other car parts since the transportation process can bump it all around. 

    Bringing your car anywhere across the country does not have to be a hassle. As long as you transact with a reliable auto transport company, you will get an assurance that your vehicle will reach your preferred destination on time. So, make sure that you will contact a reputable transport service provider so your car will get the proper treatment while in transit.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
