April is National Car Care Awareness Month, a perfect time to ensure your vehicle is in top shape for the seasons ahead. Preventative maintenance can save you time and money, keep the air clean, and ensure safety on the road.
If your check engine light comes on, get it checked out as soon as possible by a qualified technician. This can save you money and help reduce pollution, ensuring you pass your annual vehicle inspection. Addressing issues early can prevent more serious problems down the road.
Ensure your tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread depth, as properly inflated tires can improve your gas mileage and keep your tires lasting longer. Replace windshield wipers if they are cracked or torn, as clear visibility is crucial, especially during spring showers. Regularly checking and topping off all essential fluids can prevent engine damage and extend the life of your vehicle.
As temperatures rise, it's crucial to check your cooling system to avoid overheating. An overheated engine can lead to costly repairs. Maintaining your cooling system can also improve your vehicle's performance.
