Will Your Car Need Mechanical Repairs When You Return?
When you travel and leave your vehicle behind, it remains unattended for extended periods, which can negatively affect its health and longevity. That’s where a car care service comes in.
What Is a Car Care Service?
A Home Watch company typically offers a car care service and functions similarly to home observation. With Hoosier Home Watch, you can schedule routine visits where a Home Watch Reporter checks your vehicle using a detailed checklist tailored to car care. After each visit, you receive a report outlining any unusual findings. In Indiana, many residents own classic or seasonal-use vehicles that require regular maintenance. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or want to ensure your vehicle remains in top shape while you’re away, Hoosier Home Watch provides the expertise and attention your car needs.
Why Would I Need a Car Care Service?
A car unused for weeks or months can experience battery drain—even if the battery is disconnected. Using a battery tender maintains the charge without overcharging and risking damage. Additionally, Hoosier Home Watch can start and run your vehicle periodically to ensure the battery stays charged and ready for use. An idle car’s fuel system can suffer from condensation buildup. Filling the gas tank and adding a fuel stabilizer helps prevent internal corrosion. Running the engine after adding a fuel stabilizer ensures proper mixing. We also recommend an oil change before long-term storage to remove contaminants. Our car care service includes fluid-level checks to keep your vehicle in optimal condition.
Vehicles left stationary for long periods can develop flat spots on their tires. Properly inflating tires and rotating the car’s position periodically helps extend their lifespan. Hoosier Home Watch monitors tire conditions to ensure your vehicle remains road-ready.
Car covers may seem like an excellent option for outdoor vehicles, but they come with risks. Wind can loosen covers, insects, and rodents can find their way underneath, and condensation or dirt can accumulate over time. Regular checks by a Home Watch Reporter help minimize these issues.
Beyond Regular Car Care Services, Hoosier Home Watch Offers Concierge Services to Assist with:
Routine maintenance, such as oil changes
Vehicle washing and detailing
Coordinating service appointments and repairs
Preparing your car for your return
You can choose our car care service alone or combine it with our home observation services for complete peace of mind while you’re away.
Just as a zebra stands out in a herd of horses, Hoosier Home Watch Service provides a distinctive level of personalized home care. We go beyond basic home checks to offer proactive solutions, ensuring your home is well-maintained and reducing potential problems before they escalate into disasters.
