With the salt and moisture from winter roads lingering, your car's undercarriage is susceptible to corrosion. Regularly wash your vehicle, paying special attention to the underside and wheel wells. Applying a protective wax or sealant can further shield your car from rust and corrosion, preserving its appearance and structural integrity.
Cold weather can strain your car's battery, and the transition to warmer temperatures can reveal underlying issues. Test your battery's voltage and inspect the terminals for corrosion. If your battery is more than three years old or showing signs of weakness, consider replacing it to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Fluctuating temperatures can affect tire pressure, leading to underinflation or overinflation. Check your tire pressure regularly and adjust it to the manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the tread for uneven wear and tear, and rotate your tires if necessary to promote even tread wear and prolong tire life.
Winter's potholes and rough roads can take a toll on your car's suspension and alignment. Have a professional inspect these components and make any necessary adjustments or repairs. Proper alignment and suspension settings not only improve ride comfort but also enhance safety and handling.
Spring showers are a common occurrence, and worn-out wiper blades can compromise visibility in rainy conditions. Inspect your wiper blades for signs of wear and replace them if they're streaking, skipping, or not making proper contact with the windshield. Clear visibility is essential for safe driving, especially during inclement weather.
Ensure all fluid levels in your car are topped up, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Fresh fluids help lubricate moving parts, regulate temperature, and maintain optimal performance. Regularly check for leaks and address any fluid loss promptly to prevent damage to your vehicle's components.
Longer daylight hours may mean you use your headlights less frequently, but it's still essential to ensure all exterior lights are working correctly. Check your headlights, taillights, turn signals, and brake lights for proper operation. Replace any burnt-out bulbs and clean foggy or cloudy lenses for maximum visibility on the road.
