It's Time For Spring Car Care Maintenance

Spring is the time to finally get out of the house for hours on end,
frolic in new grass and clean the house top to bottom otherwise known as
Spring Cleaning. But did you know that your car also needs Spring
Care? After a long, hard winter you need to check over your vehicle.

1. Wiper blades. Replace old ones or clean newer ones. Wiper blades
should be replaced every 6 months so just make this a habit to replace
them during your spring cleaning.

2. Salt on the roads is very damaging to your car. Give your car a
through wash, even the undercarriage, to stop rust from developing.

3. Now is the time to wax your car so it's easier to clean next time.
Plus while waxing you can find and repair any paint chips.

4. Check your tire pressure. This is the number one gas guzzler that
many people do not know about. If your tires are at the optimum
pressure, then you're wasting gas.

5. Your oil should be changed every 3 to 4 months, which makes the
changing of the seasons a great way to remember to get the oil changed.

6. Get a tune up. Get your vehicle ready for summer driving which are
usually longer trips than winter driving.

7. Check your fluid levels, top off anything so you're ready to go in
any weather.

8. It's time to clean the gunk out of the vehicle that built up over
the winter. Vacuum the inside, clean any stains, take out the mats and
wash them. It's time to let the car shine.

9. Check those brakes too. You may not realize your brakes are subpar
until it's too late. Before the bad rain hits in Spring, get your
breaks checked.

10. Finally, take care of any broken lights or any other problems you
noticed in winter when it was too cold to fix them.
