Spring Car Maintenance Tips

WASH YOUR CAR
Now that it’s getting a little bit warmer, it’s probably time to make sure all of the grime and remnants of de-icer chemics are washed off your vehicle
CHECK YOUR TIRES
Time to swap your Winter tires back to the all season ones. Check both the tire pressure and the treads.
CLEAN YOUR CAR’S INTERIOR
After the long winter, the carpet of your car is probably filled with road salt and other kinds of dirt. Vacuum and clean the interior and get it ready for the season ahead.
INSPECT YOUR WIPER BLADES
Ensure that your wiper blades are in good condition and ready for a typical swing in weather conditions from a spring shower or a late blizzard.
CHANGE YOUR OIL AND FILTER
Now that Spring has arrived, make sure get your oil and filter changed.
CHECK YOUR A/C
Make sure your air conditioning is working properly and ready for the warmer weather.
CATCH UP ON GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Take advantage of the warmer weather to catch up on your car’s general maintenance. Check such things as your dashboard lights, washer fluid and getting your brakes checked.
CHECK YOUR BULBS
Ensure all your exterior lights are functioning correctly. especially at full brightness to keep yourself visible and safe during every possible weather event.
CHECK YOUR BATTERY AND SPARK PLUGS
Cold weather wears out plugs and batteries faster than warmer weather. Check and replace your plugs as needed, and get your battery tested.
