Car Owners Share Handy Tips and Tricks

It can be a challenge to calculate how far forward to pull your car in the garage, especially when you use your garage for storage as well as parking. It may not cause significant damage each time you gently bump into something in your garage, but why take the risk? Besides, those tiny bumps and scratches can add up over time.

Instead of playing the guessing game each time, use a tennis ball to mark your perfect spot. When your car is parked in the ideal location inside the garage, attach a tennis ball on the end of a long string from the ceiling so that the ball just hits the windshield. You can use this to mark how far forward you should pull in each time!
