Customize your ride with Preston Customs!

If you would like to customize your ride just the way you like it then you should consider coming to Preston Customs at Preston Autobody! We can add those special touches to your vehicle that you desire. When the weather gets cold you might want to think about having leather seats with heat installed in your vehicle. If you only want leather seats without the heat then that is available as well. Leather seats are a nice addition to a vehicle, they add value. Leather is also more durable than fabric and vinyl. When it comes to maintenance lather is also better than fabric. All you need to clean leather is a damp cloth and a little detergent. Leather also does not soak up spilt drinks as cloth seats would. Not only are leather seats more durable but they are also extremely comfortable. If you spend a lot of time in your vehicle driving to work or going on roadtrips than leather seats would make your journey a lot more comfortable. Another custom we offer is remote starts. Remote starts make for a great feature! The biggest benefit of having a remote start is the comfort of knowing that your car can be warm or cool before you get in. On those cold mornings when you are getting up for work you can use your remote start to start your car and thus your car will be warm by the time you are ready to leave for work. This also works the same way if it is extremely hot outside. You can start your vehicle and it can cool down while you are waiting to leave. No more getting in a vehicle where your seats are too hot to sit on! Remote starts can also offer you safety that you didn’t have before. By allowing an icy car to warm up before driving it is easier to scrape or defrost your windows. This results in greater visibility for the driver. Preston Customs also offers a back-up camera which can be installed in your dash or in your rearview mirror. Back-up cameras have a lot of safety features. Back up cameras can help prevent you from backing up over someone or something. In larger vehicles without a backup camera your blind spot is 20 feet behind your vehicle. It is also beneficial when hooking up a trailor. The driver can easily navigate their way to the trailer, avoiding accidents as they may miss the mark or accidentally hurt the person helping them. If you are in the city and need to parallel park then your new back-up camera from Preston Customs will significantly assist you with this. Some of our other options include Bluetooth and DVD systems which are available to be installed in a headrest of drop down, and navigation systems which come in handy when you are going on long trips. To go along with your backup camera from Preston Customs you can also get backup sensors! These beep everytime you get too close to an object. In case you don’t have power windows and power locks we can install these for you as well as radios of your choice!

Why Ford F-150 Repairs Are Cost-Effective

If you own a Ford F-150, then you are most likely taking it off the road in search of adventures in the great outdoors. That means your truck is sure to get dings, scrapes, and possibly even some damage to its exterior that you will need to get fixed. This can cause you some worry about how much the needed repairs will hurt your budget. At Preston Auto Body, we are glad to tell you that you do not have to be overly concerned. Why? It is because the aluminum body of the Ford F-150 is much more durable than it appears. While it is true that aluminum is a lightweight metal, Ford engineers only use military-grade and highly-resistant aluminum in the construction of Ford F-150s. This unique grade can better withstand the demands of the road and the unpredictable weather patterns of Mother Nature, all while remaining lightweight and easy to handle as you drive. It is also easier to repair and restore than conventional steel. The team at Preston Auto Body doesn’t want you to limit your explorations just because you are worried that your Ford F-150 will get banged up, costing you time and a bundle of money. Contact us today to learn more about why Ford F-150 repairs are more affordable than you might think!

What To Do After An Accident

Despite the best preparations and your best-laid plans, anything can happen while you are out on the road and that includes accidents. Caused by any number of factors (like obstacles, animals or other drivers), an accident can be highly catastrophic and even very traumatic. Here at the Preston Automotive Group, we always hope our customers are as safe as they can be on their travels and that they avoid the dangers driving can bring. However, we also want everyone to know exactly what to do if they experience an accident and ensure they can handle the encounter. That is why our team has compiled a checklist for you to follow and help you retain the confidence, calm and focus you need to handle whatever an accident will bring. We recommend that you do the following after you get into a car accident: Immediately check yourself (and your passengers, if there are any inside your vehicle) for injuries and assess how serious they are. Call the local authorities — like a police department — and 911, no matter how minor your injuries or the damage to your vehicle. The police will be invaluable when it is time to make an insurance claim. Remember to get the responding police officer’s name, rank and badge number as well. If possible, move your car, truck or SUV off the road and onto the shoulder of the road. Shift into park, turn on your hazard lights and set up several flares (if you have any). Inspect the state of your vehicle and try to see what kind of damage it has sustained. If you can, we suggest making notes on everything that you see. If another driver is involved — After first seeing if he or she is alright, gather as much of their information as you can right away. This includes names of everyone present, information on all vehicles (models, makes, years, license numbers, etc), insurance carrier names and policy numbers, contact information and more. It also is a good idea to take several pictures of the scene, which can be used when you go to file your insurance claim. Wait for the proper authorities to arrive, and then seek medical treatment when necessary. Your friends at the Preston Automotive Group hope that our customers find this checklist useful, but also that they never have to use it. We want everyone to stay safe while out on the road, so be sure to contact us for more information on what you can do avoid accidents happening to you and your loved ones.
