Spring is Here!


Spring is here and it’s time to get out and enjoy the open road.  Before you do, there are some simple things that you can do to get your vehicle ready for the warmer months. Transitioning your vehicle to warm weather driving is like “spring cleaning” for your vehicle!


During the winter, your vehicle is subjected to cold temperatures and harsh road conditions like ice, salt, and potholes.  Not only do these conditions create dirt and grime in your engine, but the cold temperatures or road conditions may crack or damage certain parts. 


First we suggest you check your vehicle’s tires. Tires react very differently in cold vs. hot temperatures.  It is important to check the air pressure, and make sure your tires are properly inflated for warmer weather.  While checking your tire pressure, take a few moments to examine the tire treads for wear and tear. 


Next we suggest checking your car’s cooling system. Making sure it’s working properly early on will ensure that you don’t find yourself with an overheated vehicle in July!  The easiest way to do that is by replacing the coolant.  Coolant is designed to keep your engine from freezing in cold temps and from getting too hot in hot temps.  It flows through your engine parts to keep the temperature maintained. 


We also suggest checking the AC to make sure it blows cold air before the weather gets too hot.


Lastly, a nice thorough car wash is always good to get off the grime and salt from the winter roads!
