It’s National Car Care Month folks, that means it’s time to get off of your bottom and get outside to treat your vehicle to the TLC that it truly deserves! While we know this can be a very time-consuming part of the year, we want to assure you that the time you spend checking over your vehicle, will be time well spent! Below, you’ll find our list of items that are most important when transitioning into spring from winter. Take a look below and if you’re not sure if you are able to complete these tasks, no worries! Give our team a call and we will be more than happy to set up an appointment that works best for your schedule!

Things To Look For:

Fluids:

  • Check up on your vehicle’s fluids, if you notice they are dirty, filmy, or have changed color, it’s time to swap it for fresh new fluids. Not sure how to do this or what to look for? Just schedule a service appointment with our team and we will take care of your vehicle.

Windshield Wipers & Lighting:

  • When you’re out and about on a road trip, being able to see is vital. That’s where your windshield wipers and lighting come in to play. Make sure that all of your lights are working and are bright enough to light up the road when the sun goes down. Also, if it’s been more than six months since you replaced your wipers – change them NOW!

Got Tires?:

  • Another important piece to your vehicle’s puzzle is your tires. Coming out of a winter season means that your tires could have improper PSI levels and excessive wear and tear. So, check your tread and make sure that your tires are filled to proper PSI levels.

HVAC System:

  • Summer is coming, we all know this. That means spring is a great time to make sure that your HVAC system is in proper working condition and will get you through the season without any minor or major hiccups. Check for smells, too! You’ll notice these when you turn the A/C on.

Schedule Your Tune-Up:

  • Going somewhere and want to have the best possible fuel economy when you’re out and about? Then schedule a tune-up to help your engine deliver the best balance of power and produce the lowest level of emissions.
