Top 5 spring car care and maintenance tips

List of the top five services you should consider this spring 

As you go about your spring cleaning, don’t forget your car. Getting your car clean and ready for the summer season is a great way to check some regular maintenance off your list. You can easily do these from home, but you can also save yourself the effort and visit Carl Black Hiram for some preventative maintenance.

1. Replace your vehicle’s windshield wipers. With changing seasons comes changing weather. For many of us, spring is the rainy season, which makes it a great time for new windshield wipers. Living somewhere warm can also wear out the rubber of your wipers faster. 
2. Check your vehicle’s tire wear and pressure. Take this time to check whether you need new tires or a tire refill. Correct tire inflation comes with many benefits including fuel savings. 
3. Get a professional car wash. The important thing is that you wash road salts off your vehicle if you live somewhere that uses road salts to combat snow and ice. Even if you don’t, springtime is a great time to clean your car. A professional wash means that you don’t have to purchase car cleaning products and prevents you from using the wrong items on your car’s paint or seats. 
4. Consider window shades for the summer heat. A good Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift can be window shades for a vehicle. Save your little ones from the sun’s harmful rays and keep your vehicle cooler.
5. Check and top off vehicle fluids. You don’t want to get stranded on a hot summer day, so make sure that your vehicle is in the best shape possible before summer. Top off fluids such as engine oil and coolant.
