Lincoln, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2019 -- As the go-to provider of collision and auto body services across Lincoln, NE, The Kustom Shop understands that wintertime driving can wreak havoc on a vehicle. Everything from snow and ice to the cold temperatures can cause issues for exterior paint, undercarriages, brakes, fluids, and more. Now, the company is offering tips on how drivers can give their car a spring cleaning and maintenance.

Examining the wheels, tires, and alignment is essential because icy roads and potholes can damage tires and cause the alignment to be off. Not only does can this lead to wear and tear on the treads, but it can also result in the vehicle pulling to one side. This also presents a perfect opportunity to check tire pressure as well.

Ensuring that the brakes are in proper working order is another way to prepare a car for springtime driving and road trips. The brakes should be carefully and thoroughly checked, including the pads and rotors.

Over the winter season, the extreme cold can affect both the quality and quantity of a vehicle's essential fluids. The Kustom Shop recommends consulting the car's maintenance guide to see what fluid should be replaced. Additionally, this can be the ideal time to check the oil and consider a transmission fluid exchange.

Finally, a car wash is an essential component of a spring cleaning maintenance routine. Salt, gravel, and sand aren't just unsightly — they can actually do damage to a vehicle's exterior paint and underbody. While it's best to continue to wash a car throughout the winter to prevent damage from rust, a springtime deep-cleaning should be performed to ensure it's protected from rust and paint issues.

Lincoln, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2019 -- As the top-rated collision center serving Lincoln, NE, and the surrounding areas, The Kustom Shop provides expert repair services, vehicle customization options, and much more. Now, the company is offering information for their clients to help dispel common myths about auto collisions.

For example, insurance companies will typically recommend a collision center for repairs after an accident, and many individuals believe that unless they go to these recommended repair shops, the insurance company won't pay. However, this is false. Vehicle owners have the legal right to take their car anywhere for repairs.

Additionally, a common misconception regarding auto accidents is that the insurance company will pay for all the repairs needed to fix the damage incurred. However, each insurance policy has limitations on what they will pay for collision repair. If the fault lies with the other driver, then it's up to their particular insurance plan to determine how much they will pay towards repairs.

Another auto collision myth is that an individual must accept the insurance company's estimate for repairs. In fact, many times these estimates do not accurately reflect the cost of repairing a vehicle after it's been involved in an accident. In these cases, an estimate does not need to be accepted and can be challenged by presenting other estimates from repair centers that report a higher cost to fix the car.

In regards to the condition of the car, many people believe that an accident will substantially reduce the car's value. However, this isn't necessarily true. While the incident will appear on a vehicle's accident report, the auto repair professionals at The Kustom Shop will apply their years of expertise and knowledge to get the vehicle looking good as new, and they can assist the owner to get the maximum value for the vehicle when it is sold.

Now, the company is offering guidelines on what drivers should do immediately following an automobile accident.

The first thing that drivers need to remember is to take a deep breath and try to remain calm. After stopping to assess whether anyone in the car is injured, they should immediately call 911 and get the badge number or ID of the responding officer.

Next, a driver should turn on their hazards and move their vehicle if possible. However, if anyone in the car is injured, or if the accident occurred on a major highway or intersection, then it's advised to stay inside the auto. If another person is involved in the crash, then it's crucial to get their information, including name, address, contacts, and especially their insurance company, including policy number.

After exchanging information, the driver should take extensive photos of the scene from varying angles. This includes the damage, accident location, and those involved in the accident. The next step is to contact their insurance carrier to file a claim. For many companies, this can even be done with an easily-downloaded app to the driver's mobile device.

The final step is to trust the professionals at The Kustom Shop with all auto body repairs, both major and minor. Not only can they make cars look as good as new, but the company also provides the convenience of after-hours key drop-off and a complimentary shuttle for their clients.

Lincoln, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2019 -- As the premier collision repair and auto body shop serving Lincoln, NE, and the surrounding areas, The Kustom Shop provides professional automotive repair, painting, and a range of other custom services for their customers throughout the region. Now, their team of trusted experts is offering advice on how to safely handle driving in the rigorous conditions of Nebraska's winter, including snow, ice, and more.

Before heading out to drive in any adverse weather conditions, it's crucial that drivers first prepare their vehicles. This includes topping off all fluids, such as oil, brake fluid, and ensuring that the gas tank is always at least half full to prevent freezing. Additionally, the tire pressure should be checked regularly, as the temperature can have an effect on it. An emergency kit with a blanket, flashlight, and other essential items is a necessity, in any season or weather.

When driving in severe winter conditions like through snow and ice, it's critical to go slowly, no matter what. Accelerating and decelerating should be done carefully and slowly to retain traction. The focus should always be on the road, not the radio, phone, or any surroundings. Also, drivers are advised to leave at least ten seconds between them and the vehicle in front of them, and to never use cruise control when driving through snow or ice.
