🛠️ Here are some helpful tips for preparing your vehicle for spring🔧

• Check Your Tires: 🚗 As the weather warms up, ensure your tires are in good condition. Check tire pressure, tread depth, and look for any signs of wear. Consider switching to summer tires if you were using winter tires.

• Inspect Your Battery: 🔋 Cold weather can be tough on batteries. Check for corrosion on terminals and ensure the battery is holding a charge. If it’s more than a few years old, consider having it tested or replaced.

• Change Your Oil: 🛢️ Spring is a great time to change your oil and replace the oil filter. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil type and change intervals.

• Replace Wiper Blades: Winter can be hard on wiper blades. Inspect them for wear and replace them if they’re streaking or skipping.

• Check Fluid Levels: 🎚️ Ensure that your coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid are at the proper levels. Top them off if necessary

• Clean Your Vehicle: 🧽 Remove any winter debris, including salt and grime, that can cause rust. Give your car a thorough wash and consider waxing it to protect the paint.

• Inspect the Brakes: Have your brakes checked for wear, especially if you notice any grinding sounds or reduced responsiveness.

• Check Your Lights: 💡 Ensure all your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are functioning properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.

• Test Your Air Conditioning: 🌬️💨As temperatures rise, make sure your air conditioning system is working efficiently. If it’s not cooling properly, consider having it serviced.

• Review Emergency Kit: 🚨🧰🆘Update your emergency kit to ensure it has fresh supplies, such as water, non-perishable snacks, a flashlight, and a first-aid kit.

• Plan for Road Trips: 🚗💨🔧 If you’re taking any spring road trips, ensure your vehicle is ready for longer drives. Check the route, and plan for breaks.

• Stay Informed About Local Weather: Spring weather can be unpredictable. Stay updated on forecasts and be prepared for rain or storms. Download local weather app's like WSFA or WAKA. Both have wonderful app's that can help keep you updated on all weather-related issues.

By following these tips, you can ensure your vehicle is well-prepared for the spring season, enhancing both safety and performance.
