Let’s Take a Moment To Appreciate The Weather And Our Car
With spring come new beginnings and the potential for a fresh start. Some of us forget that our car is just as important to maintain as everything else in our lives. Spring is a new season, and with every seasonal change, your vehicle needs to have the proper care to prepare it for a warmer climate.
During the winter months, or if you have neglected your car since the holidays, your vehicle would have undergone some significant drainage. Your car is good at telling you when something is wrong, but it's not always good at telling you how to prevent damage. Preventive maintenance is the name of the game when it comes to getting your car on the right track for a new season. We have plenty of great recommendations that will help you save money in the long run!
Our Tips & Tricks
Check Your Car's Fluids: Have you noticed that your car might be sluggish, but you don't see any warning signals in your car's dash? Sluggish behavior from your vehicle might be because one of the fluids in your vehicle might be running low. First, we recommend you check the oil of your vehicle. It is easy to check because an oil line indicates the oil level! Additionally, we recommend getting an oil change every five to seven thousand miles. Next, you also should check your brake, coolant, transmission, and power steering. Checking your fluids can quickly be done by your maintenance provider or us when you go in for a visit!
Inspect Your Tires: Inspecting your tires is an excellent way to prevent further damage in the future. We recommend that you inspect for nails, harsh scratches, and the tread of your tires. If your tires seem to be in good shape, most people only need to go in when it's time for a tire rotation.
Clean The Interior and Exterior of Your Car: The winter could have done some damage to your car's exterior as things like road salts and rain could have accumulated. Washing your car is an easy way to keep things fresh and prevent further accumulation from forming. Cleaning the interior with a vacuum and a simple washcloth will make it easy to see if something is off in your car, too!
