Replace Worn Accessories for Safety Says Capital BMW Dealership Near Quincy

Jul 17, 2013

Worn accessories can not only make our vehicles look shabby they can actually be quite dangerous to drivers that have neglected to replace them. At our BMW service center near Quincy, we carry many of the most popular accessories for your BMW so you can easily replace what is necessary to protect yourself and your passengers.

The worn or broken accessories that you need to pay attention to include such things as broken floor mats. Floor mats can get torn up over time. Our shoes bring in rocks and other debris that can ultimately damage the fabric of the protective floor mats and result in holes developing in the mat. These holes can potentially become hazardous if the carpeting gets caught up in the pedals or around your feet when driving. It is important to keep the floor of your vehicle cleaned and vacuumed to remove debris on a regular basis to preserve your mats for as long as possible.

Another concern that can prove dangerous for drivers includes cracked or broken mirrors for side view and rear view visibility. There may be several causes of damaged mirrors but it is critical to have these broken mirrors replaced immediately to ensure you always have a view around the vehicle especially when you are in motion. You should be able to adjust mirrors for optimum visibility so if your mirror functionality needs repair schedule it as soon as possible. Also be sure to remove any objects that are hanging from your mirrors. It can be very distracting during your drive to see dangling objects from the corner of your eye and displaying objects from your rearview mirror can also result in a ticket from police.

Finally, you should always make sure the overall cabin of your BMW is safe before every drive. If you routinely carry around a lot of personal items that are laying loose on your seats or floor, you need to reconsider ways to secure these items before they can become a distraction. Items on the floor can roll under your accelerator or brake pedal. Also, during a collision these items can fly around the cabin area and cause additional injuries. Check in with our Quincy FL area BMW service center to find the replacement accessories you need or the new accessories you should have to make your vehicle’s cabin safer.
