Summer often brings weather that can do some serious injury to anything in its way. For those without garages or car-ports, your vehicle surviving a hail tornado without damage at this time of the year can be especially difficult. Along with hail, fallen trees as well as branches, rising floodwater and even the usual rain can all trigger major problems for all kinds of autos, big and small. Here are a few ways to aid minimize the chance of your tires copping a summer-storm beating this year.
Vehicle in rain
1. Shop If there’s a serious hurricane on the way and you’re concerned about your car, consider a visit to your local mall. It will most likely have a protected car park where you can leave your motor vehicle, whether the shops are available or not. You could also go see a movie, as most cinemas have protected parking.
2. Blankets If you’re caught with only a couple of minutes warning, and no cover, throw some relatively heavy blankets over your car and connect them down. This can help to protect your car from most things bad weather could throw at it. They won’t do much if a sapling falls on your car, yet hopefully you’ll be covered for merely everything else.
3. Keep your auto away from bodies of water - If you live near a creek, river, or even a lake, find a place to park your car that’s either on higher ground, or far enough away from the body of water to ensure its safety. Otherwise you run the risk of your car becoming damaged by flood normal water.
4. Check the BOM website - The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) internet site issues regular weather revisions and warnings. Make a practice of checking it regularly once the weather looks a bit dodgy.
5. Check whether your insurer has a warning method. Some insurers, such as Finances Direct via its Come Hero service, alert clients when there is a forecast pertaining to hail in the customer’s local area.
6. Keep surroundings obvious - Inspect the area all around your home/where your car is left for potential hazards. Free roof tiles, overhanging branches, and TV aerials all pose a menace to your car in heavy really agitates.
A bit of time spent taking preemptive steps to protect your car against thunder storms can help to avoid a major headache (and cost) after the event.
