We are gearing up for another season change right here at Simi Valley Toyota! And what better way to get started than cleaning up our ride and treating it to a little TLC this September. We encourage you to take some time checking out these tips, put them to good use, and get your vehicle ready to start fresh this season. Or if you’re looking for an upgrade – it’s time to stop in to see our team right here at Simi Valley Toyota and let our team help you find the perfect vehicle that fits your needs and budget. We hope to see you soon! 

Undercarriage Cleaning

• Many car owners always keep the visible parts of their vehicle clean and sparkly. But what about the undercarriage of your vehicle? While your vehicle’s undercarriage is always just inches off the ground, it’s important to clean up and get rid of any road-borne impurities that come in contact with your undercarriage. Especially with slush and road salt quickly approaching in the upcoming winter months. It’s important to clean it well, clean it often.

Exterior Protection

• This is a little easier but still a task that takes a bit of elbow grease to complete and complete right. Impurities that lie hidden in moisture can lead to slowly eating away at your paint job, no matter how good it is. It’s important to ensure your car is waxed periodically and put that protective barrier between your paint and the elements! 

Interior Cleaning

Everything you tread on outside of your vehicle always makes its way inside your car at one point or another. While it may be difficult to get out the vacuum and get into all the nooks and crannies, it’s extremely important to do so. Apart from the feeling that comes from being in a clean interior, you don’t want to find yourself with upholstery damage because you neglected to clean your ride. Get out that vacuum and make it sparkle. And a pro tip, add a new air freshener to freshen up the interior smell of your vehicle!

Are you ready to have a little summer fun? If so, this week we are teaching you how to make your very own popsicles from the comfort of your own home! Take a look at the guide below and when you’re ready to upgrade your ride and enjoy a homemade popsicle inside, come see our team right here at Simi Valley Toyota! We look forward to helping you get behind the wheel of your dream Toyota! See you soon! 

Things you’ll need: 

• Popsicle mold (we recommend a silicone mold) 
• Fruits and flavorings 
• Popsicle sticks
• And of course, a freezer

Step 1: 

• First, you’ll want to mix your fruits together. If you’d like your popsicles to be on the sweeter side, add in flavors like honey, agave nectar, or sugar if needed. Don’t forget that when frozen, the flavor of the popsicle won’t be as strong. We suggest making your mixture slightly sweeter than you would a smoothie! 

Step 2: 

• Now it’s time to pour your mixture into your mold! While the mixture will naturally expand when freezing, it’s important to leave a little space at the top of the mold. 
• Let it freeze! Depending on the thickness of your popsicles, it should take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to freeze solid. Pro tip! Turn your freezer to the coldest setting possible. The quicker they freeze, the softer they will be in the end! 

Step 3: 

• Finally, it’s time to unmold your popsicles and enjoy them! We suggest running your mold under warm water for about 10 seconds each. Then, your popsicles should pop right out and you can either enjoy them or place them back in the freezer for a snack later!
