April is National Car Care Month, and Zimbrick Automotive has a number of ways for you to celebrate.
Now is as good a time as any for such an occasion as the weather is transitioning from winter to spring and road conditions present a fresh set of challenges. With spring signaling a new beginning, spend the month of April checking off the following tasks in recognition of National Car Care Month, and make this summer one to remember for your vehicle.
National Car Care Month Tips
Have your battery tested
Car batteries are put to the test by the cold of winter and are often all but drained by the end of the season. Have your battery tested so you don’t find yourself stranded at an inopportune time.
Replace your wiper blades
After months of scraping ice and sleet from your windshield, it may be time to swap out your wiper blades. This will enable you to have a fresh set of blades in time for the rainy spring season.
Check your tire pressure
Cold temperatures can cause tires to gradually lose air pressure. And warmer weather can have the opposite effect, forcing tires to swell up with overinflation. April is a good time to have your tire pressure checked as temperatures begin their transition.
Give your car a thorough washing
If you saw any snow or ice this winter, your car is likely sporting a coat of road salt that can cause rust and corrosion to the paint job and undercarriage. Give the exterior and underbelly of your car an annual spring cleaning to protect both its appearance and performance.
Top off your fluids
Running the heater all winter long can deplete your car’s antifreeze. And you’ll need that fluid when the temperature warms up to serve as a coolant for your air conditioner. Be sure to top off all your fluids as you transition from one season to the next.
