Automotive Repair: Spring Clean Your Vehicle!
Your vehicle has been working hard to get you through the harsh winter months, but spring is right around the corner. We have seen severe winter weather all around the country, causing our vehicles to work harder than usual just to get us from point A to point B. But now it is time to for some spring cleaning with quality automotive repair.
Here are a few items that will need some special attention in your next automotive service:
- Spark plugs and wires -- Inefficient spark plugs decrease performance and fuel mileage.
- Caps -- Gas caps, radiator cap, brake fluid caps--anywhere fluids are poured should be checked for a tight seal to keep out water and debris.
- Headlights -- Road salt, harsh weather, grime, rocks, and other debris can leave your headlights cloudy and dirty. Clean them up so you can see and be seen! Or, have them professionally cleaned by an automotive repair specialist.
- Tires – Rotate tires at least every 7,500 miles to keep the tread wearing evenly. Because changes in temperature create fluctuations in air pressure, check the inflation pressure frequently. Properly inflated tires will wear more evenly and increase your gas mileage.
- Interior of your car – Wash floor mats, windows, interior lights, and dash board. Your passengers will thank you.
- Air filter and cabin air filter – Everyone needs fresh air, including your car.
- Fluid levels – Schedule an automotive service to check the level of all critical fluids. Top-off as needed.
- Wiper blades –Be ready for the spring rains by replacing your wiper blades. They have worked hard though the cold winter months.
- Oil Change – Regular oil changes are key to a long lasting car.
Remember: For renewed vitality and a fresh out-look for your car, be sure to schedule a spring checkup.
