Signs of spring are beginning to appear, such as the blossoming of flowers and the singing of birds. Who among us does not take pleasure in driving with the windows down and listening to a music that is enjoyable? For your car to be ready for spring, be sure you follow these seven tips:

1) Inspect your cooling system:

• Check for any cracks or leaks in the radiator or hoses

• Make sure all connections are tight

• Be sure the coolant and antifreeze levels are at least half full

In the event that temperatures start to climb, the coolant in your car may reach temperatures of up to 250 degrees, which will result in your vehicle overheating. Because of this, it is essential to make certain that your cooling system is in excellent functioning order.

2) Inspect your tires:

• Measure your tire’s tread and be sure none of your tires are balding. Proper traction is important for the rainy spring weather ahead.

• Winter conditions are known for causing potholes, which is a common cause for needing a wheel alignment. Click here to learn if your vehicle needs a wheel alignment.

• If you were using winter tires, be sure you replace them with all-season or summer tires now.

3) Check your windshield wipers:

During the winter months, your windshield wipers are put through a lot of labor because of the ice, snow, and salt that they encounter. It is advised that you replace your windshield wipers at the beginning of each season, particularly since the wet spring season is drawing near. Visibility will be improved, and the likelihood of an accident will be decreased, if the windshield wipers are in good working order.

4) Turn on the A/C:

In order to prevent the temperatures from reaching dangerous levels, check that your air conditioning equipment is operating correctly. It is impossible to imagine a more unpleasant experience than getting into a hot automobile and being unable to cool it down.

5) Check your battery:

Four to five years is the typical lifespan of an automobile battery. The battery in your car works harder than usual when the temperature is excessively high or low, and the circumstances that cause this might cause the battery to discharge. Be proactive and replace your battery before the hot summer weather comes. Do not wait for your battery to fail at an inconvenient moment; instead, change your battery well in advance. An examination of the battery is provided at no cost by Wiygul Automotive Clinic.

6) Top off your fluids:

• Windshield Wiper Fluid – During the winter months most drivers are constantly using their windshield wiper fluid to clear their windshield of salt and other winter build up.

• Engine oil- Engine oil protects the engine against wear and tear. Keep your engine oil full so that the engine and its working parts function properly.

• Brake fluid - Brake fluid transfers the pressure from your foot on the pedal to the wheel. If the brakes do not have enough fluid, it will take more time and effort to stop your vehicle.

7) Wash your vehicle:

There is more to a clean and polished automobile than good appearance. It is imperative that you do a comprehensive cleaning of the paint and undercarriage of your vehicle. This is because salt and other winter chemicals may collect, leading to the accumulation of corrosion and/or dirt.
