Get an Oil Change
If you’ve fallen behind on your regularly scheduled maintenance, spring is a great time to get back on top of your oil changes. Motor oil captures the dirt and metal shavings that an engine naturally produces, but it doesn’t do the engine any good if the contaminants remain trapped in the oil in the engine. Oil changes can be messy and difficult to perform at home, so come in and have our team perform a change for you.
Check Your Tires
As the weather begins to warm up, the air in your tires will expand, increasing the tire pressure. Driving on overinflated tires causes them to wear out faster, so check your pressure with a tire gauge, preferably in the morning before you start driving for the day. Adjust the pressure accordingly if it’s outside the range recommended in your owner’s manual.
Wash Your Car
Having your car regularly washed isn’t just about appearances, although your vehicle probably can use a wash after the winter months. Salt, dirt, and other contaminants kicked up from the road tend to stick to external paint and your undercarriage’s corrosion protection, eating away at the coating, causing ugly brown spots, and eventually leading to rust. Going through an automated car wash is easier, but if you do wash by hand, ensure you wash your car’s underbody as well.
