5 worthy gifts for car services and mechanics

We all know someone for whom it is impossible to shop during the holiday season. Due to supply chain issues and product shortages, there may be additional gift-giving challenges this year. It's time to get creative. Local mechanics from Chapel Hill Tire are here to share some suggestions for car repairs and upgrades you can give this holiday season. 

1: New tires

Tires are an investment, an integral part of your car's safety, handling, braking and fuel efficiency. If your parent, partner, or child needs a new set of tires, this could be the perfect holiday gift. You can easily shop online using our tire finder tool. It shows you all the tires available for your loved one's car, allowing you to compare prices and features. You can also view the full price breakdown to avoid any hidden fees or surprises. A gift of new tires is an investment that will keep them safe and moving forward for years to come. 

2: Oil change

As one of the most frequently needed car maintenance visits, an oil change is a small service that can be a huge inconvenience. By gifting an oil change, you can save your love once by protecting your engine with this affordable service. And best of all, with pickup and delivery, you won't even have to get up from your seat to show your loved ones that you care about them.  

3: Brake pads and discs

Responsive brakes are a necessary element of vehicle safety. Over time, most braking systems wear out the friction material of the brake pads and deform the brake discs. If your loved one needs a brake system repair, this can be a gift that will save his life on the road. A professional mechanic can evaluate their brakes to determine the necessary course of action. 

4: Installing the trailer hitch

Is there anyone in your life who loves adventure? A tow hitch installation can be a great gift. Unfortunately, these vital installations are no longer standard on many powerful cars. By gifting a trailer hitch installation, you can help your loved one discover new adventures. Even smaller vehicles can use a trailer hitch to attach bike racks, small racks, and other unique attachments.

5: Headlight restoration

Headlights are another key safety feature that can often be left out of control. Most headlights are made with acrylic lenses. The sun's ultraviolet rays oxidize acrylic, causing yellowing, fogging, opacity and dim headlights. Luckily, there is an easy solution for oxidized headlights: a refurbishment service. During this process, the expert will use professional tools to remove and restore the oxidized layer of the lenses. Then a protective layer is applied to them to prevent future oxidation.
