The Hidden Benefits of Detailing Your Car for Allergy Season

The Hidden Benefits of Detailing Your Car for Allergy Season

Why a Spotless Ride Can Make All the Difference When Allergies Strike. As spring approaches, the air fills with the delightful fragrance of blooming flowers and the gentle hum of bees. However, for many individuals, this also signals a less pleasant arrival: constant sneezing, itchy eyes, and ongoing sniffles—the unwelcome signs of allergy season. While we typically view our homes as refuges from allergens, it's crucial to recognize that our vehicles play an equally important role in shielding us from pollen and dust. Although cleaning your car during this period may initially seem like a luxury—it is actually an essential practice that can greatly improve your daily commute by reducing allergen-related discomfort.  Breathing Easier on the Road While in your car, you're occupying a confined space where elevated pollen levels during allergy season can pose problems.

First Found Walt’s on Auto Club’s Westways “Top 10” List

Thank you, Leslie, for your 5 Star Rating! Found Walt’s Auto Service when I was looking for a different auto repair shop for my 1990 Honda CRX SI, a long time ago. The independent Honda repair shop where I had been a customer for many years changed owners and it was time to move on. I’ve been a customer at Walt’s Auto Service for……..what must be going into a second decade by now. I first found them on a “Top 10” list in Auto Club’s Westways Magazine of auto repair shops in Southern California. Then I began to notice that they made the “Daily Breeze’s South Bay’s Best” awards list year after year. Hondas and Toyotas (and their associated makes) are what Walt’s primarily repairs, but they are certainly perfectly able to diagnose and repair other makes as well. I took my 1990 Honda CRX SI to Walt’s for many years until I gave it up in 2010, and now my 2010 Honda Accord is there for every oil change, s ... read more
