We want to remind our customers that attending to your spring automotive maintenance needs will allow you to take on your adventures with peace of mind. After a long winter, you'll want to consider these April car care tips to ensure your vehicle is ready for spring.
Check Tire Pressure and Tread
Ensuring your tires are in good shape is essential to staying safe as you drive around Hagerstown. You will want to check your tire pressure and tread depth this time of year. Driving on over-inflated or bald tires around Thurmont is a true safety hazard.
Replace Wiper Blades
After cold weather exposure and a season of use, it makes sense to replace your wiper blades. Worn wipers smudge and smear your windshield, which lessens visibility. Replacing your wiper blades is a simple and quick service that can make a big difference.
Test the Battery
Another service that takes very little time is battery testing. This diagnostic check lets us know if your battery is low on power. Stay safe and add battery testing to your spring service to-do list.
Change the Oil and Filter
Fresh oil and a clean filter are essential to smooth engine performance. Skipping this task could result in a loud and sluggish engine or even a breakdown.
