One of the reasons people move to Asheville is the weather. From spring through fall, mild temperatures make it comfortable to stay outdoors all day long. Winter can be another story, however. We have had a long winter here in Asheville. The season started with a shocking white Christmas, but snow, ice, and cold have not let up since December. There are signs the cold weather will hang on through March. But spring is coming.
We are in the midst of the holiday season here in Asheville. Decorations and lights make for a magical scene everywhere you go. People are singing and carols are ringing and there is generally good cheer despite a difficult year for western North Carolinians. We are grateful for the season and all of the support we have received from our community, but we are also looking forward to the New Year. As we approach the day when the calendar starts over, people across the area are thinking about what kind of resolutions and goals to set. At First Aid Collision, we are here to help drivers set good New Year's Resolutions for their cars.
You want to paint your living room? DIY! You are interested in putting in an herb garden? DIY!
You need to fix a slow drain in your shower? DIY (and blame anyone with a lot of hair in your household for clogging it up). There are endless do-it-yourself projects that are worthwhile, cost-saving, effective, and even satisfying at the end of the day. And then there is tackling your car’s paint job. This is not a DIY job. Unless you are a collision or auto body specialist on a day off, this is better left for the pros.
Summer brings so much beautiful weather. It warms up, the flowers bloom, and we can ditch our winter coats. Yet spring also brings storms. They can be both beautiful and awesome to witness, enthralling, and destructive in turn. From hailstorms to tornadoes, spring can turn from beauty to damage in the span of a few minutes. You have a good handle on how to protect you and your family, even your home. How do you protect your car from storms, though?
If you are looking to get out of spring cleaning duty in the house, we have a professional tip: get outside and do some spring cleaning on your car. It’s more fun, and if you choose the right music, you will even thoroughly enjoy it.
