Top 6 Car Hacks That Will Make Driving Easier For You

top 6 car hacks

You know sometimes when you’re stuck in a really weird situation, but don’t have the time or resources to go to a store to buy the exact things needed to fix the situation? Happens to the most prepared ones too!
Which is why life hacks videos have the most views.
Owning a car can be a blessing, except sometimes, when your car decides to do unusual things in the most exceptional conditions.
Here are a few car hacks that can make your life as a car owner much easier.

 

  • Dent-doomed


    Well, this is the one thing every car owner will hate because there is absolutely no way it wouldn’t cost you! Except, now there is. Use a plunger for the small and medium sized dents on your car and fix it for less. This hack, however does not work for bigger dents that can only be fixed by external help for your damaged car.

  • Chipped off car paint


You might finally have some use for the stack of your wife’s nail paint at home! Use the shade of nail paint that is closest to your car’s color to fix that chipped off paint on your car’s exterior. It might not look great but it will definitely look much better than a scratched car.

  • Done Reading Today’s Newspaper? Use it again!


    Turns out the best way to clean glass is with newspaper! However, if the newspaper uses petroleum based ink, it will stain your thumb if you hold it between your index finger and thumb for a while. This is not ideal for cleaning glass as it might stain your glass and you. In case your thumb isn’t stained, it means the ink is soy-based, and good to go. Use a mixture of equal parts of water with vinegar to clean your car glass and make it shine like never before.

  • Nap-time?


    Nap-time is not just for kids, and all adults that love sleeping (read:every adult ever) would agree. So what happens when you’re on an adventurous road trip and want to nap? Or when you just can’t keep your eyes open and it’s the middle of nowhere so you have to keep driving? Just take an inflatable floatie that can be used as a makeshift bed. It could be extremely dangerous to drive when sleepy and accidents could be fatal. So carry a floatie and nap away!

  • Rubber-Bands showing you the way


    You might be living and driving in New Zealand for the past 20 years and be really bad with directions. GPS and navigation are a boon for such people. But holding your phone and driving at the same time is a complete risk, and way too inconvenient. Having a rubber band handy could help you secure your phone to your Car Vent when you don’t own one of those fancy phone holders, or the one you bought doesn’t seem to work that well.

  • Oh Scrap!


    Once your old car gets really old and you know for sure you can’t convert it into a vintage car, you need to get rid of your old car.
    Most of the times, it gets impossible to sell an old car because it might not be efficient or at its best.
    This is when you can either get fast cash for car from a car removal service in your area or scrap your car. It’s a really easy procedure and just a call away!

    I had a used car that I couldn’t get sold. A friend suggested Kiwi Cash for Cars. I called for a quote and was shocked. The price they had to offer was higher than most of the prospects that came to look at the car. I quickly accepted the offer, and just as quick they were to me with the cash in their hands to buy & remove my used car. Great company, wonderful service. Thank you, Kiwi.

    I would have never expected a car removal company to be so professional. Kiwi Cash for Cars provided me a quote over the phone, and the price quoted for my old Toyota, Corolla was one I quickly accepted! When their technician arrived to buy and remove the car, I didn’t expect such a courteous fellow. He was polite and professional, and thorough. All paperwork was provided by the technician, as well as a cash payment. Leaving me just as they advertise, counting my cash!

    My used utility vehicle had been on the market for months. Aside from a few low ballers, there was no interest in the truck; A friend suggested that I contact Kiwi Car Removal. The company was quite impressive. No run-arounds for a fair price and they were quick to arrive to buy and remove the truck. Great people, great service!

    Our 2004 Toyota Corolla was completely totalled in a car collision, and the thought of receiving cash for the car didn’t occur to me. When researching the best way to dispose of the car, we heard about Kiwi Car Removal. We called for a quote and was surprised at the price quoted. We agreed to sell the car to Kiwi, and they were quick to provide a free car removal and cash payment. Our experience with Kiwi was exceptional.

    Best Ways To Maintain Your Car

    Sometimes life gets busy and taking care of your car can quickly slip to the bottom of the to-do list. If your car is running fine at the moment, it might not seem important to undertake regular maintenance. However, when it comes time to sell your car, you will be able to secure a much better price if you have undertaken basic maintenance over the life of the vehicle. Regular maintenance can also reduce the risk of mechanical issues developing or worsening.

    Maintaining your car doesn’t need to be extremely time consuming or costly! That’s why we have put together a list of some basic maintenance tasks that will ensure your car lives a longer and healthier life.

    Learning a few basic things about how your car works, and maintaining a regular schedule for checks and services, will make sure you aren’t blindsided by a big repair bill down the track.

    How to Maintain Your Car

    Servicing the entire vehicle

    When it comes to a full service of your vehicle, this job is best left to the professionals and should be booked in every three to six months. Your mechanic will check your tires, fluids, brakes etc and ensure your car is functioning safely and smoothly. Some warranties require you to undertake regular services, so be sure to check out your owner’s manual, and keep a logbook of your services to present when you eventually sell the vehicle. This is a great way for a buyer to have peace of mind that the vehicle they are buying has been well maintained.

    Checking oils and fluids

    It will depend on the specifications and age of your car as to how often you need to change your oil. If your car is less than 15 years old, the oil probably needs to be changed around every 5,000 kilometres. Many cars have an electronic reminder with a flashing light. Regardless, it is important to regularly check your oil and other fluids to ensure your car is well lubricated and runs cooly to avoid the risk of engine damage.

    Maintaining your brakes

    Brake pads are easy to replace and cost-effective. If your car is making squeaking or screeching sounds as you stop, there’s a very good chance you need new brake pads. If your illuminated brake light comes on, it might be time to have your brakes fully checked at a mechanic. Your tires need to be removed in order to get to the brakes, so it can be a good idea to get your brakes checked when you have your tires replaced or rotated.

    Changing your tires

    Maybe you got a flat, or maybe your tires are worn down. Whatever the reason, don’t put off tire maintenance! There is nothing worse than being stuck with another flat and having the spare punctured in the boot. Weather, driving conditions and the way you drive your car will impact how long your tires last. Learn how to virtually check your tires for tread and wear and tear, so that you know when it is time for a change.

    If the grooves are deep, then your tires probably still have some life left. If they’re faded or nearly gone, then you need to replace your tires straight away. If you notice any vibrations or wobbles while you drive, this is also a sign that you need to check your tyres. Be sure to get a wheel balance performed when you go in for a professional tire service.

    Belts, batteries and filters

    To keep your car running smoothly, it is a good idea to regularly check your belts, battery and filters. You should make sure your battery is kept clean, and if your car is struggling to start, perform a battery check before you end up stranded by the roadside. Keeping a regular check on these elements can help to prevent future damage.

    As you can see, maintaining your car is important if you want to take care of your automotive investment. If you have decided that it is time to sell your car, Kiwi Cash for Cars is here to assist.

    We pay and will even pay cash for scrap cars. We also have a car removal service.

      How to get rid of a car in one day!

      Have you got an unwanted vehicle blocking up your driveway and generally making the place look untidy? There are all sorts of reasons why people end up with unwanted vehicles that do nothing more than take up space and drip oil!

      In some cases, a truck or car ends up needing repairs which are worth more than the cost of the vehicle; in other cases the owner may have bought a newer set of wheels, leaving the old one to rust where it sits. For many people, the challenge can be working out a way to get rid of a vehicle quickly, easily and conveniently.

      Fast car sales are always welcome

      Time can be a major factor when it comes to getting shot of an unwanted vehicle. Although private advertising may eventually result in a sale, it can cost money and a response can take time. It may be necessary to advertise in several different places, as well as spending hours waiting for potential car buyers to turn up and view your vehicle.

      That’s not to mention all the people who view but then don’t go on to buy. In these circumstances, selling your car to a wrecker’s yard could be the best solution available.

        Unwanted car owners consider selling their car for scrap in New Zealand for up to $8999 cash and there are many reasons. As vehicles gets old mechanical issues arise as well as the cosmetic issues such as Paint, Body damage and internal damage. Their owners would be calling the scrap yards, Why? Simply because that type car cannot be sold as a good condition and working vehicle and there is no demand for it in the market. Regardless if it’s an old ford or a late model BMW if it’s in such condition no one would be spending money.

        Scrap Car Yards are No.1 Choice

        Scrap yards are unwanted car owners first choice, the main reason is a car with cosmetic or mechanical issues simply cannot be sold to the public. Some might believe it’s an unethical and others don’t want to give their headache to someone else.

        We get a lot questions regarding should I wreck the car for parts by myself or just call a wrecker. You might get good amount of money selling parts from your car, but the consequences might be severe. First, you might not know how to take out parts and end up injuring yourself. Only professionals can wreck a car for use parts. It requires a lot of tools which might not be available for you and to purchase tools for a one-time use will rise the cost. Experts believe it is best to use the service of car wrecking companies to avoid the hassle of injuring yourself, purchasing tools (it is expensive) and time consuming. No one can sell parts from their car within a week, it takes at least a month.

        Did you know companies do charge to remove a car shell from your premises? The shell is not worth anything and reason why companies charge is:

        • Car shells damages the tray of trucks
        • The cost of fuel and time is higher

New Zealand consists of thousands car dealers each company have got their own policy and process when buying vehicles. it is beneficial to contact your car dealer and ask them about the process and how they buy cars. Some times car owners are left with no option but to sell car for quick cash which often end up getting a small amount.

          There are consequences if you do not advise NZ Transport agency about the sale of your car.

          For example: if the new owner incurs speed camera fines, parking fine, not paid licence fees and not displaying WoF, All the charges will be under your name and often you may have to pay for it.

          Hassle free sale

          One of the important step often car owners take it make sure the new owner has notified NZ transport that they’ve purchased the car before handing it over to them. The quickest way is to get them do it online which take couple of minutes.
