Spotlight on accessories that improve your driving comfort

As a driver, car rides can sometimes be uncomfortable and cause unpleasant sensations such as back pain, tension and cold fingers. Fortunately, you can purchase several accessories to make your driving experience more comfortable, no matter the make or model of your vehicle. At Certified Auto Repair, our team cares about your well-being, and we’ve compiled several accessory suggestions to enhance your driving experience.

Steering wheel cover

Steering wheel covers come in various styles and materials, including genuine leather, imitation leather and silicone. These covers can add a bit of flair to your vehicle while also protecting the steering wheel from wear and tear. Additionally, they can improve your grip and handling. It’s best to choose a high-quality cover that stays in place and has a non-slip surface. Once you experience the benefits, you won’t want to drive without one!

Pedal covers

Non-slip and perfectly adapted to your vehicle’s pedals, pedal covers come with rubber strips that improve the contact between your foot and the pedal, helping reduce slippage. They can also help minimize foot fatigue, which is especially important if you often drive long distances.

Lumbar cushion

If your back tends to feel achy after driving long hours, you may want to invest in a lumbar support accessory. This removable cushion, often made of memory foam, has an ergonomic shape that helps alleviate back pain. Some models can even be adjusted with straps to ensure maximum comfort.

Heated steering wheel cover

Say goodbye for good to driving with freezing fingers by investing in a heated steering wheel cover. This car accessory is a must-have if you’re always cold. If your car steering wheel doesn’t have built-in heating, you can purchase a heated cover for less than $100. What a great Christmas present idea!

Heated seat covers

Don’t have heated seats in your car? No problem! Get yourself a heated seat cover that can be plugged into your car’s 12V socket. The cover will protect your seat from wear and tear and provide a cozy warmth in winter. You can find heated seat covers at various price points and in several styles, materials and colours, so you can easily find one to match your car’s interior.

If you want to make every car ride as enjoyable as possible, your vehicle must be in excellent condition, especially when it comes to the suspension. Tip the odds in your favour by requesting an inspection or maintenance appointment at your nearest Certified Auto Repair.
