5 Simple Maintenance Tips for Spring

1. Check your windshield wipers. Icy windshields have likely created some extra wear and tear on your wipers and reduced the flexibility in the rubber. Since reliable wipers are a necessity, make sure you check them over every three months.


2. If you drive with all season tires, take the time to check the tread depth this spring. You don't want to find out your tires are worn because you've started hydroplaning on a rainy day. Adjust the air pressure to the recommended inflation for your tires and book a tire rotation to prolong the life of your tires and keep you safer on the road.


3. Change the oil. Ask about the benefits of switching to synthetic oil.


4. Clean the exterior thoroughly. Take some extra time really clean the undercarriage area where road salt can cling. An especially thorough cleaning is necessary to avoid rust.


5. Top up your fluids. After operating during cold temperatures, your vehicle's transmission fluid, window washer fluid, coolant and power steering fluids should all be checked.
