I know you’re planning all of your spring road trips and getting ready to pack the family in the vehicle to head out for some family fun. But before you do that – there are a few things that you should be checking for on your vehicle. I know that your vehicle is one heck of a gadget that has plenty of things that can go wrong, especially during the winter weather conditions. So, with that being said, I put together a list of things that should be at the top of your list when it comes to showing your vehicle a little TLC this spring.

Things To Check Up On:

  • Check on all of your vehicle’s fluids. Engine oil, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid, and others alike. If these fluids look dirty, be sure to swap them out or let a professional do it.
  • Be sure to check on the hoses and belts under the hood of your vehicle. Check for cracking, bulging, and excessive wear and tear.
  • Take a look at your battery, make sure it has tight connections, is corrosive free, and ready to take you the distance this summer.
  • If you haven’t had an oil change recently, check up on your brake linings, rotors and drums.
  • Hearing noises? It might be your exhaust system. Check for damage or leakage.
  • Want great fuel economy and low-level emissions? Schedule an engine tune-up!
  • Temperatures are on the rise – give your HVAC system a look over and have it serviced if you think your system is having issues.
  • Fill up your tires to the proper PSI levels and check your tread levels. Look for uneven tread wear or excessive wear and tear.
  • Your lighting is a vital component in your vehicle. Be sure to check over all the lighting fixtures and ensure that bulbs are in proper working condition. If your headlights look foggy, try reconditioning them first.
  • Don’t forget about your windshield wipers. April is known for heavy rain showers. Don’t be caught in the rain with old, worn out wipers!
