Spring Car Maintenance: 7 Tips to Prep Your Car for Spring

All across the country, winter is winding down. With more sun and rising temperatures comes an entirely different strategy for car care. Fortunately, Sprinter Towing is here to help. Here are seven simple tips to help you care for your vehicle as winter makes way for spring.

1. Switch out those winter tires

2. Wash and Wax

3. Clean the Inside, Too

4. Check Your Tire Pressures

5. Inspect Your Wiper Blades

6. Check Under the Hood

7. Check Alignment and Suspension

Check Under the Hood

Do a thorough check under your hood to make sure your car’s engine made it through the winter without problems. Specifically, check belts and hoses to ensure the cold temperatures haven’t rendered them brittle or heavily worn. Check your coolant to make sure it’s not too old — an important factor for avoiding overheating as temperatures gradually climb. If you aren’t comfortable performing these checks on your own, contact a local mechanic. While you may get billed for an hour of labor, it’s better than going into the spring with potential issues lurking under your hood.

If you are in doubt on how to proceed with all these steps, don’t hesitate and contact us. Sprinter Towing is here to serve you!
