National Car Care Month - Spring Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

April signals National Car Care Month! As temperatures rise and roads clear, it's an opportune moment to pamper your vehicle. Following the rigors of winter, your car deserves a revitalization to gear up for spring and summer escapades. Here are some pointers to jumpstart your car care regimen:

As winter descends and temperatures drop, it becomes imperative to pay extra attention to your vehicle's tire pressure. Cold temperatures lead to the contraction of air molecules in your tires, resulting in reduced tire pressure that can impact your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency.

 

As the intense summer sun beats down upon us, finding refuge in air-conditioned sanctuaries becomes a pressing need. This quest for coolness extends beyond our residences and workplaces; it's equally imperative for our cars. The escalating temperatures can take a toll on your vehicle's air conditioning system, emphasizing the importance of a timely AC tune-up.
 

As summer road trips approach, it's the perfect opportunity to prepare your car for thrilling weekend getaways and delightful drives in the warm sunshine. Whether you're a car enthusiast or simply looking to enhance your driving experience, there are essential accessories that can add convenience and joy to your summer journeys.
 

As summer arrives, many of us eagerly welcome the warmer weather and engage in outdoor activities. However, amidst our focus on protecting ourselves from the sun's harmful rays, we often overlook an important aspect: safeguarding our vehicles from sun damage.

To help you maintain your vehicle's appearance and functionality during the scorching summer months, we have compiled a valuable list of tips to protect your car from sun damage.

The arrival of the summer heat evokes mental pictures of the beach, volleyball, fun car rides, and laughing with friends by the campfire. Unfortunately, a less fun side to the summer exists, too, where you need to perform summer maintenance on the vehicle. Understanding a few tips can go a long way to making your summer safer and more pleasant.

Engine coolant, also called antifreeze, helps the car radiator regulate safe temperatures so that it will not overheat. The engine heats this anti-freezing liquid, which then stimulates a cooling effect through the radiator. Low coolant levels cause radiator temperature to drop unexpectedly, which, in turn, will solidify the fluid. Driving a vehicle in this condition can result in overheating, or worst cause engine failure. Motorists can avoid these inconvenient car situations if they perform routine coolant level checks and do refills when necessary.

Car fluid leaks can mean a range of different things depending on the color of fluid and location. If your car is leaking fluid, the first thing to do is ascertain what type of fluid. Most leaks mean that something internally is worn or damaged, causing fluid to escape.
