After a long winter cooped up indoors, you\u2019re probably ready to trade hibernating for some sunshine and traveling. Whatever you choose, chances are you\u2019re going to hit the road. Before revving up your engine, make sure you get to your destination safely and efficiently with our tips for spring car maintenance. Winter can be harsh on vehicles both interior and exterior so it\u2019s imperative to bring your car in for a full checkup to detect minor issues before they become major problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil Filter
<\/strong>To keep your engine running smoothly, change your oil filter at the intervals recommended in your owner\u2019s manual. Neglecting to do so can result in poor engine performance, higher fuel consumption, and severe engine damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fluids
<\/strong>While changing your oil and filter, it\u2019s essential to check your fluid levels for the power steering, brakes, transmission, windshield washer, and coolant. If the levels are inadequate, flush and replace them as recommended per the vehicles manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wipers
<\/strong>After the winter, wiper blades typically get torn, cracked, or dried from excessive salt. Ensure you have the best visibility possible by replacing your blades in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery<\/strong>
Plummeting winter temperatures can affect the battery, so be sure to have it tested. While you\u2019re there, make sure the mounting brackets are secure, the connections are clean, tight, and corrosion-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windshield
<\/strong>With the fluctuating temperatures between summer, fall, winter, and spring, your windshield might need some TLC. Smaller, barely-noticeable cracks in the summer can turn into huge lines that span the width of the glass in the winter season due to expansion and contraction. Windshield damage can decrease the effectiveness of airbags, seatbelts, roof stability, and your safety in an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting
<\/strong>Ensure your exterior and interior lights work correctly. If motorists don\u2019t notice you breaking, turning, or heading their way, the results could be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rubber
<\/strong>Cold temperatures can harden and damage rubber, so check all of your belts, hoses, and tires for damage. Look for hardening, softening, leaking, cracks, blistering, looseness, frays, or glazing. Check the pressure on your tires monthly, and maintain the optimal pressure recommended by your owner\u2019s manual. Make sure the tread is raised, and rotate your tires regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filters
<\/strong>Check your engine air filter, cabin air filter, and your fuel filter for damage or clogs and replace if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
