Spring and summer bring sunshine—but also hail, heavy rains, flooding, and falling debris. These storms can do serious damage to your vehicle if you’re not prepared. Whether you’re worried about hail damage, flash floods, or post-storm collisions, here are key ways to protect your vehicle before the next big storm rolls in.
Download a reliable weather app and turn on storm alerts. Knowing when a storm is coming gives you time to move your car to safety or avoid driving altogether.
Whenever possible, park your car in a garage or covered structure. If you live in a hail-prone area, consider portable carports or padded hail covers for added protection.
Good visibility is crucial during storms. Replace windshield wipers at the first sign of streaking or skipping to prevent visibility issues in heavy rain or hail.
Storm-season driving means slick roads and poor visibility. Make sure your tire tread is deep enough and your brakes are responsive. This can help prevent accidents and the need for collision repair.
Check for cracks or gaps in your car’s windows, doors, and sunroof. Sealing these can prevent leaks during rainstorms and protect your interior.
Include essentials like a flashlight, jumper cables, a rain poncho, water, and a first-aid kit. A basic toolkit and portable phone charger can also be helpful in a storm-related breakdown.
