Thank your car for surviving another frosty winter!

The cold temperatures, snow, road salt and potholes were less than kind this past winter. It’s time to give special attention to your batteries, tires, belts, hoses, fluids and brakes to ensure you are taking the best possible care of your motorized baby.

Make sure you have a clean, tight & corrosion free battery connection

Test & replace weak batteries

Check tires for bulges & bald spots

Make sure your wheels are properly aligned

Check tire pressure. Low pressure = decreased gas mileage & tire life

Inspect shock absorbers & chassis parts (ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links & bushings)

Replace belts that are worn, cracked, blistered or soft

Inspect your brake system: lines, hoses, parking brake and brake fluid

Check fluids: engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering, coolant & washer fluid

Practice engine damage control & change your dirty air filter

A new air filter helps eliminate abrasive dust, dirt & bugs from entering your fuel system air intake

Dirty filters decrease gas mileage & increase emissions – change yours

Winter weakens windshield wipers, check for cracks

Check interior & exterior lights. Replace dull bulbs

Eliminate metal corrosion & perform a thorough cleaning

Keep cool. Check coolant levels, flush your radiator & check for coolant leaks

Inspect your exhaust system, check for leaks, damage, broken supports & hangers to avoid damage

Use only automotive car wash products to prevent stripping your vehicle’s wax finish

De-clutter your interior & ditch winter gear
