The best ways to prevent COVID-19 is to stay home and practice social distancing. However, many of us here on Long Island still need to leave our homes. Whether it be for work or a trip to the supermarket, there are a few things we can do to help prevent the spread of germs and diseases like the coronavirus.Professionals say washing our hands frequently and avoiding touching our faces can help lower the spread of COVID-19. However, be sure to also clean the things you touch frequently. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we compiled a list of helpful tips when it comes to sanitizing your vehicle. Utilize Soap and Water When it comes to fighting germs, using soap and water is highly recommended when cleaning your vehicle’s interior. Autoblog shares with us that the trick is to avoid any cleaners that are labeled as being free of detergents. For those with leather interiors, makeup removal wipes are a great alternative. Now that may sound a bit odd but, skin care products usually contain moisturizers which is great for organic trim materials. Be aware of which cleaning products you will be using to clean the inside of your vehicle. Staying clean and getting rid of germs is extremely important right now, however you do not want to ruin the interior of your car! Feel free to contact us or schedule an appointment at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center. We offer exterior and interior detailing services. Scrub Your Interior Use disinfectant wipes or soapy water to thoroughly scrub the hard surfaces inside of your vehicle. Areas around the driver’s seat and passenger seat like the windows and center console should be cleaned extremely well. These areas are more likely to be hit with droplets when a person is to sneeze or cough. Don’t Forget About High-Touch Surfaces Areas like door handles, audio controls, seatbelts, mirrors, climate controls, steering wheels, etc. should be cleaned extremely well since these areas are frequently touched. Don’t forget to clean your MBUX touch-screen infotainment system if you have one in your Mercedes-Benz! Soft Surfaces The CDC recommends using a cleaner that is appropriate for whatever material is being cleaned. For example, if you are cleaning leather, you would want to use a Leather Cleaner or Vinyl Cleaner. For vehicle carpets and upholstery, it would be wise to use carpet or upholstery cleaner. Contact our Parts Center if you need help finding the cleaning product that is right for your vehicle. Use Rubber Gloves When cleaning your vehicle, we recommend using disposable gloves as they help prevent the spread of viruses such as COVID-19. After cleaning, be sure to dispose of your gloves and wash your hands thoroughly. Stay safe and healthy. We are still available to help you with all your vehicle needs!

Your safety depends a whole lot on the condition of your tires. Your tires give you the ability to grip the road, make safe turns, and stop in a safe amount of time. Now that Spring is finally here, you may be asking yourself "when is the best time to make the switch from Winter Tires to Summer Tires?" Winter Tires Winter tires perform best in temperatures below 45 degrees in areas with cold, snowy and icy weather conditions. In order to maintain grip on slippery roads, winter tires are designed to stay soft in colder temperatures. Using Winter Tires in warm and dry weather conditions will wear the tread. It is important to change from winter tires to summer tires during the summer time to maintain the condition of your Winter Tires for future use. Summer Tires/ All-Season Tires With April just around the corner, we should expect temperatures to begin to rise here on Long Island. All-season and Summer Tires perform best when temperatures are above 45 degrees and should only be used in warm, dry and mildly wet weather conditions. These tires are designed to give drivers a more comfortable ride in the summer time.
