Keep It Clean, Inside and Out

Regular washing and waxing help protect your truck’s exterior from year-round weather damage. In the winter especially, applying undercoating shields against ruse caused my road salt and other road chemicals. Inside the cab, keep the seats, floors, and dashboard clean helps preserve materials like leather from fading or cracking over time.

Pro Tip: Add WeatherTech floor mats or Seats Inc. seat covers to protect high-use areas from wear and tear. We carry both at our Parts store to keep your interior looking fresh.

Pro Tip: Ask about our TRP and Kenworth part warranties. Our Kenworth and TRP Pottstown team knows the ins and outs of our all-makes OEM parts.

Maintain Curb Appeal

A well-maintained truck offers a return on investment. A clean and polished truck leaves a strong impression and can retain its value for years. Fix scratches or dents, touch up paint chips, and polish chrome to keep your Kenworth looking as good as it drives. Consider exterior coatings or sealants for long-term protection against the elements.

It’s simple — a well-maintained truck holds its value better and longer. Taking care of the little things like fixing paint chips, polishing chrome, and repairing dents don’t just improve curb appeal, but can make a big impact on its resale or trade-in value.
