Attention Holiday shoppers! Surefire Christmas gift suggestions for your car

It’s the season for giving! As such, it's always lovely to receive a gift from someone dear. But for a true car enthusiast, who said gifts should only be people?

One way of celebrating the season is by giving gifts to your mechanical significant other. To help you decide on what to get your beloved ride, here are some practical and functional gifts and services that you can give that will help make all the trips in your car that much better.

Oh, moms, wives, and girlfriends, do take note too. Happy Shopping!

Auto Detailing

Remove all unsightly swirl marks and light scratches, giving way to a clean and clear exterior. The polishing and waxing that comes with it will help protect that appearance, making this a worthy gift for your car.

Digital Tire Inflator

No more trips to the gas station to have your tires properly inflated. Before heading out, you can plug in, set the desired tire air pressure, and let it do its job. The best part is that it automatically shuts off once done, giving a clear pressure readout without any guesswork.

Clay Bar Kit

This gift is very effective when it comes to removing paint contaminants, light overspray, and road grime. This dense clay compound uses light adhesive properties to pull dirt particles off paint without scratching the coat underneath.

Paint Protection Films

This layer of film protects the paint against environmental hazards and, more importantly, against deep scratches. What’s great is that the scratched area can be replaced with another new layer of film making it a worthy gift.

Portable Air Blower

This gift creates a steady blast of high-volume air to blow water and moisture away from surfaces, crevices, creases, and other hard-to-reach parts of a vehicle. This handy tool will make drying a car after washing much faster and more convenient.

Oil Change

Keeping your car in good condition can’t be overemphasized. This includes regular oil changes that are essential for vehicle upkeep. It helps ensure that your engine runs at its optimum performance and protects it from wear and tear, making it a must-have gift item.

Engine Wash

The major benefit of this gift is the cosmetic appeal, but more importantly, it lets the driver examine the engine oil levels and accessory belts much easier. The biggest pro of cleaning an engine is keeping it free from dirt, debris, and gunk formation, which helps keep the engine running cooler.

Tires and Wheels

What gift could be better than having improved looks and performance? A properly sized tire and wheel upgrade will result in better overall road handling and road feel as the contact patch has increased along with the tire diameter.

Speakers

If your vehicle’s head unit is perfectly capable of doing its job, the next best gift would be to give it a set of quality component speakers. It uses separately mounted speakers and a more advanced crossover to provide better sound quality.

Window Tint

We go to great lengths to protect a car's exterior paint, but the interior is equally important. What better way to protect it than by adding a good quality window film as a gift to block out harmful UV rays and provide a sense of privacy for you and your loved ones too.

So, have you decided which gift to give your car this Christmas?
