Spring Maintenance and Car Care Tips for All Vehicles
Oil Change
An oil change is the first thing you should do this spring. This is especially true if you’re traveling for spring break. Regular oil changes will help keep your car running smoothly. It can also help you identify if there are any mechanical issues going with your car.
Replace Filters
Don’t forget to have the filters in your car changed. Dirty filters can cause plenty of issues with your vehicle. This should include the air filter in your engine, as well as the cabin air filter.
Tire Pressure
Your tires should be on your spring maintenance checklist. Check that your tire pressure is at the recommended psi. You should also check the tread to see if your tires will be good for another season or if you need to replace them.
Windshield Wipers
After a harsh winter, it’s very possible that your windshield wipers are damaged and in need of being replaced. Check your wipers and replace them if they don’t clear water off efficiently. This could save your life since it’s important to have a clear view when driving in a spring rainstorm.
Recharge Your A/C
Spring is the perfect time to get your A/C system up and running before the summer heat. Take your car in to get the A/C system recharged so that you’re ready for summer.
This spring, make your vehicle a priority with these maintenance and car care tips.
