Give Your Car a Fresh Start This Spring
Spring isn’t just about decluttering your home—your car deserves a reset too. Driving during different weather conditions leave behind dirt, salt, and wear, and now’s the time to clean up, check up, and get back on the road with confidence.
1. Wash Away Winter’s Damage
Winter grime doesn’t just look bad—it can lead to rust and long-term damage.
Deep clean your car’s exterior (especially the undercarriage)
Vacuum & wipe down the interior to remove salt buildup
Apply a protective wax to shield against UV rays and road debris
Pro Tip: A clean car isn’t just about looks—it improves resale value over time.
2. Check Your Tires—They’ve Been Through a Lot
Your tires worked hard all winter—now’s the time to check if they’re ready for the miles ahead.
Switch from winter to all-season tires for better fuel efficiency
Check tread depth (use the penny test—if Lincoln’s head is visible, it’s time for new tires)
Inspect for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear
Find the right tires for your ride.
3. Replace Your Wipers & Refill Fluids
Spring showers bring reduced visibility if your wipers are worn out.
Replace streaky or skipping wipers
Refill washer fluid & coolant
Check for windshield chips—they can expand in fluctuating temperatures
4. Test Your Battery Before It Fails
Extreme cold weakens car batteries, and a weak battery in spring means you could end up stranded.
Check battery voltage (most auto shops do this for free)
Look for corrosion on terminals and clean if necessary
If it’s more than 3 years old, consider replacing it
5. Spring Means Road Trips – Is Your Car Ready?
Warmer weather = more road trips. Make sure your car is ready for long drives, weekend getaways, and daily commutes.
