Happy Spring! And welcome to our blog post about keeping your car in good shape during these warmer months. As the weather improves and you take your car out for long drives, it's essential to make sure everything is up to par. So, let's go over some general upkeep tips and seasonal maintenance tasks necessary for a smooth-running vehicle. Then, whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, read on for advice on how to protect your investment.
Change Your Oil
It is probably the number one thing you can do for your car. Most mechanics will tell you that you need an oil change every 3,000 miles or so, but it's best to consult your owner's manual to be sure. Spring is a great time to get this done so that your car is ready for summer road trips.
Check Your Tires
After a long winter, your tires might need some attention. First, check the tread to see if they need to be replaced and check the pressure to make sure they are correctly inflated. It is also an excellent time to get your alignment checked, as it can wear down over time.
Wash and Wax
After a long winter of being covered in salt, your car could probably use a good wash. First, make sure you dry it off completely before waxing. It will help protect the paint and keep your vehicle looking shiny and new.
Replace Your Wiper Blades
If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain, your wiper blades might need to be replaced more often. But even if you don't, it's a good idea to do this at least once a year. Wiper blades can wear down over time and become less effective, so it's best to be proactive and replace them before they need to be.
Check Your Battery
If your battery is more than three years old, it might be time to replace it. However, it will help prevent any issues during the hotter summer months.
