How to Check Your Vehicle
Getting your vehicle prepped for the spring and summer time isn’t a difficult task, and can easily be performed by a mechanic shop. Here are the recommended services you perform each spring in order to ensure your vehicle is in pristine condition:
● Inspect Cooling System - The cooling system of your engine doesn’t have to put in as much work when the weather is freezing. But when spring rolls around, the cooling system’s job becomes more difficult. It is important to check any hoses or radiators for holes or cracks, and that each part is securely fastened. You should also top off any fluid levels to make sure that your vehicle is performing correctly.
● Check Your A/C - Making sure that your air conditioning system is functioning properly is key to surviving rising temperatures. This can also alert you to whether or not the air filters need to be replaced.
● Check Your Battery - Your car’s battery works tirelessly in cold weather and this can drain the battery’s potential energy. Getting a quick check on the battery health of your vehicle can save you from an embarrassing breakdown in the future.
● Thoroughly Wash Your Vehicle - Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow can end up accumulating grime and begin rusting components over time. Giving your vehicle an extensive car wash can remove these contaminants.
