Car Care Tips for Spring: Spring time; new buds on the trees, longer days, and warmer weather. We all love spring and your car does too. To get your car ready for those nice Sunday afternoon drives you should take a look at our springtime tips. Tires As the temperature rises so will the pressure in your tires. Check the air pressure to ensure proper inflation. Now is also a good time to look for uneven ware and tread depth. Lights This is a great time to check all the lights on your vehicle. Its nice enough outside now to spend some time checking and replacing any faulty lights. Wipers Spring is a great time to change your wiper blades. They have served you well all winter long and taken the abuse of running over ice on your windshield and the freezing cold. Now is a great time to change them out so you have fresh wipers for those spring storms. Liquids Winter is hard on the fluids in your car. Now is the time to check all your fluid levels and condition. Flush systems and replace fluids as necessary. Be sure to keep on your standard oil change schedule. If your not sure when you changed it last, do it now. Protectant Now is a great time to put a fresh coat of protectant on your vinyl top, dash, and tires. While your at it you may want to put a good coat of wax on the paint. Cleaning As it warms up your air conditioner will get more and more use. Now is the time to clean out the air conditioner coil and radiator mounted on the front of your car where dirt and road grime can reduce the air flow through these units. Cooling System Check all the hoses and belts before the torturous heat of summer arrives. No need to have a nice summer drive ruined from a broken hose or blown out coolant hose. This is a good time to flush your cooling system so its ready for the summer heat.
