The snow is gone for real and now it’s time for spring cleaning and maintenance for your car. Have your service provider give a general check over the entire car, if they see anything, you can take care of it sooner than later. And of course, the cleaning of the car is a must. Around here, salt plays havoc with the carpets so a good shampooing and rinse will help preserve the life of them.
Summer Tires
It’s a good idea to get your winter tires off sometime in April. I remember waiting too long into the spring and after a long drive I could smell the burning rubber of my tires, pretty nasty! Summer tires are way more fun to drive with anyway. I just got my summers on and cornering is a completely different experience.
Wipers
Days like today in windy, wet Capital Area are a true test of how effective your windshield wipers are or not. That squeaky sound or streaky view can be an additional unnecessary challenge for driving. Some of the automotive parts chain stores will change them for you-very nice on a day like today.
Spring Car-Care Check Ups
This time of year is good to check in on your car’s inner workings. With big temperature changes between day and night, there is a higher propensity for parts to break. Basic system checks like oil, coolant, brake/power steering fluid, and tire pressure. Taking five minutes now can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars later on.
Snow Tires are Heavenly
This time of year requires snow tires for rear wheel drive vehicles, this is coming from personal experience of driving today in treacherous conditions.
