Toyota of Dothan Recommends Reorganizing Your Storage Compartments

Jan 13, 2014

Many of our new and pre-owned Toyota models offer convenient spaces to keep your valuables and store your belongings. Traditionally, the glove compartment on the front dash area is used as a carry-all for your paperwork, tissues, or portable GPS, leaving it unorganized and overfull.

In the event you are stopped during a traffic violation, the first thing the police officer will ask for is your license and vehicle registration. If you have to wade through a bunch of your junk or can’t find the paperwork being requested, you could potentially face more fines for being unprepared.

Our Toyota dealership in Dothan offers some helpful tips to stay organized and out of trouble. We recommend keeping only the owner’s manual of your vehicle and the important paperwork in your glove compartment. All other things should be kept in different storage areas.

The important paperwork can be stored in an envelope or a plastic storage bag so you can easily access it. If you just throw your registration paperwork and insurance information in the compartment, you may not be able to find it when necessary. The storage bag also makes it easy to keep track of what documents need updating.

Designate other storage compartments in your vehicle to hold your CDs, your chargers, and even your gloves to stay better organized. Be sure to have one compartment ready to hide your valuables when exiting the vehicle to help prevent vehicle break-ins or other vandalism.
