SPRING MAINTENANCE IN VEGREVILLE, AB
Spring is finally upon us, and with the warmer weather, many of us will drive our cars more. Now is a great time to remove the memory of winter from your vehicle and do some spring maintenance before heading off for your next commute, road trip, or weekend drive. Keep reading for some spring maintenance tips from Grant Miller Motors Ltd.
- Replenish the Fluids
Car fluids include the engine oil, coolant, brake, and transmission. These fluids don't last forever and are essential for your car to work properly. Check your owner's manual for the recommended oil, coolant, and transmission fluid levels. Replenish fluids when they run low.
- Clean Your Car's Undercarriage
Salt is a big problem for cars in the winter since it's constantly thrown on the roads. It can damage your car's undercarriage and erode some of its parts. Scrub your vehicle well with soap and water to remove any salt buildup.
- Check Your Car's Tire Pressure
The tires on your car must be at the correct pressure for it to run properly. Accurate tire pressure can keep you from losing your grip or vehicle rolling over in an accident. Inflate all four tires to the pressure your manufacturer recommends. Rotate them routinely to avoid uneven wear.
- Check Your Tire Alignment
Driving on a rocky road or an uneven surface could throw off your car's alignment. This can affect your vehicle's performance and its tires' longevity. Take your car to a repair shop if you notice any issues with its alignment.
- Replace Your Wiper Blades
Winter can do a number on your windshield wipers. Heavy snow and sleet can make them wear out fast. Replace your wiper blades with new ones as soon as possible.
- Check Your Battery
Check your battery, and have it replaced if it's five years old or older. A new battery can give you more bang for your buck and save you from enduring a ruined day with a dead battery.
