At Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake, we thought we'd put together some Spring Car Care tips for you to notice. The best time to get your car checked, is to have us conduct a multi-point inspection for your vehicle in our service department. Here are some other items to notice and check:
- All fluids: Your engine oil, power steering fluids, brake, transmission as well as windshield washer fluid, and the antifreeze coolant.
- Hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.
- Battery Life: along with making sure there is no acid build-up on the car battery. Also, look at the cables connected to them to make sure they're in good help.
- Brakes: Normally, you should have these checked at your oil changes, but when breaking while driving, check to see if everything feels right as well.
- Schedule a Spring tune-up: This will always help with your car's performance.
- Air Conditioner: The summer is coming fast, make sure you're prepared with a well working AC.
- Tires: This includes tire pressure and the tread tread. Keep in mind that uneven wear on the tires in an indication that you need an alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.
- Wipers: You'll want to make sure your wipers cleanly wipe away water for the most optimal viewing out of your car's window.
- External Lighting: Break lights and head lights
Check them for wear and cracks and replace them if necessary, think about doing this each spring and fall.
