Car Care
The car is the German's favorite child, it is said again and again. No wonder that many car owners value a clean and well-kept car. Careful car care, however, not only has cosmetic reasons, but also ensures the preservation of value and, under certain circumstances, even increases safety. So clean windows are the absolute must for a good look at every season. Even if you regularly bring your car into a car wash, you will certainly need different products for individual care. Rubber care products prevent, for example, the freezing of the door seals in winter, window defrosters quickly ice-free the car windows and anti-engine cooling agents prevent the engine from overheating. Car care also includes products for wheel and tire care, for cleaning the interior and devices such as car vacuum cleaners and polishing machines.
CAR maintenance
Like car maintenance, maintaining a vehicle is important for maintaining value and safety. Even if you can't repair your car yourself, there are many products that make it unnecessary to go to a workshop. Windshield wipers and cabin filters can usually be easily replaced by yourself. Tire pressure testers indicate if there is enough air left on the tire; tire tread gauges help assess the tire tread and let you know when it will be time to change the tires. The products for car maintenance also include work lights, tools and utensils for the garage as well as winter items such as ice scraper, snow broom and air dehumidifier.
Car Styling
A wide range of products are available for the comfortable equipment of a vehicle. In addition to seat protection covers, these include seat heaters and massage pads, coolers and kettles, as well as hands-free equipment for the mobile phone, thermometer and heating carpets. There is hardly anything to make a car trip even more comfortable. In addition, many of the vehicle equipment products are also suitable for camper vans or camping.
Breakdown equipment
Many drivers are members of a car club and receive help in the event of a breakdown. However, there are some items that should always be included in the vehicle, or are sometimes even mandatory, such as the warning triangle, first aid kit, safety vests, tire sealant and rescue equipment. However, some devices also help to avoid breakdowns, such as devices, pipes or sprays for repelling the marten.
What do you need to pay attention to when buying vehicle accessories?
Many products in the category Vehicle accessories can be used universally, regardless of which vehicle you own. However, there are also articles that are only compatible with certain types of vehicles. A look into the manual of the car model will help you to select the right product.
Our practical tip: Parking aids can be retrofitted
If you live in a city where parking spaces are rare, you know the problem: The parking spaces are often small, bollards or posts make parking extra difficult. Parking aids and reversing video systems promise a remedy, which can usually also be easily installed by laymen.
FAQs: Questions and answers about automotive needs and eMobility
Where can I charge the battery of an e-bike while on the move?
There are numerous charging stations for e-bikes in Germany. These are mostly found in larger cities near tourist attractions, such as museums and town halls. Numerous maps with charging stations are published on the Internet. It is important that you always carry your own power supply so that you can recharge at every charging station or socket.
What was the cost of car care?
Of course, this depends entirely on your requirements and how much power you want even when cleaning your car. The usual car cleaning agents are roughly priced in the area of household cleaners. It will be more expensive if you buy, for example, a car polishing machine or a car vacuum cleaner. However, you can use these devices permanently for this purpose.
How long have navigation systems been in place for the car?
In 1983 Blaupunkt GmbH officially launched the EVA (electronic traffic controller for drivers), which was used to locate the vehicle using radar sensors. This device is considered to be the first navigation system for motor vehicles. The first GPS-based navigation system was introduced by pioneer only in 1990.
