Monsoon is the most awaited season for many. But the season also creates most of the inconvenience in daily life. At one end it gives relief from the scorching summer on the other end it brings lots of nuisances for commuters. Monsoon season in India is associated with heavy rains, rains that can even drench a complete car under water. Moreover, water logged roads, potholes and mud makes driving difficult and damages the car. Rain spoils the spare parts, car paint, car interiors and also causes great harm to engine performance and electronic car accessories.

Here are the some helpful tips that can monsoon proof your car:

1. Car Service: Car service is utmost important prior to monsoon season. Replace the engine oil, air filtre and fuel filtre. Check the suspension joints and silencer pipe because that is the most affected car part during rain. Also, check for rubber plugs that are placed under the car to prevent water to enter the car cabin. If the plugs are torn out, replace them immediately before venturing into the rainy season.

2. Car Paint: Rain water can easily damage the car paint and cause rusting. Before the season starts, make sure that the car body and other fittings are coated with anti-rust paint. An anti-moisture spray can also be used. If the car exterior has deep scratches, get them treated or else rain water will fill in those scratches and damage that particular area.

3. Car Tyres: Rain water makes the road slippery which often cause car skidding and hydroplaning. In order to avoid skidding, it is essential to check the tyre treads. If the tyre treads are not deep, the vehicle is likely to skid on slippery road. The minimum tread is considered to be 1.6 mm in depth.
