SPRING 2022 AUTO MAINTENANCE TIPS

The spring season is when many people start spending more time on the road as the weather clears up and becomes warmer. After your car suffers from wear and tear in the winter, it’s important to perform routine maintenance on your vehicle to restore its condition. There are a few auto maintenance tips to perform with a mechanic to avoid potential issues.

Inspect the Air Conditioner
You’ll rely on your air conditioner to stay cool as the temperatures rise outside, making it necessary to test the different speeds of the A/C. There should be cool air blowing through the front and back seat vents. If you notice warm air or a lack of air, you’ll need to schedule an appointment to have a mechanic diagnose the issue.

Check for Dents
Rocks and other pieces of debris on the road in the winter can cause damage to the exterior of your vehicle. Once spring arrives, you can have more sunlight to examine any damage that is present and use paint to touch up blemishes. You can also bring the vehicle to an auto shop that performs paintless dent repair, which will restore the value and quality of the car.

Perform an Oil Change
The oil is considered to be the blood of your car’s engine, making it necessary to replace the fluid to keep everything operating well under the hood. New oil will add more lubrication to the parts to prevent excess wear and tear from developing as the vehicle is in use. This is also an ideal time to top off the fluids and clean the engines. A mechanic can also rotate your tires to prevent the tread from wearing down.

Clean the Vehicle
Cleaning the interior and exterior of your car will make it comfortable to continue using once trash, debris, and dirt are removed. Make it a point to vacuum the seats and use leather upholstery cleaner. Wipe off the dashboard and clean out the cupholders with a wet rag. It’s also a great time to wax the exterior of the vehicle, which will restore the condition of the paint and will remove any grime that has developed from the road.
