Finally, spring has come after an unforgiving winter here in Doylestown, PA. The brutal cold, harsh winds and constant snow has made it difficult to go anywhere or get much of anything done. This is particularly the case with car care.
Vehicles take a beating in the winter. From poor road conditions to corrosive salt, there is little chance for reprieve. BBack Car Care has put together a few low cost steps you can take that will go a long way in preparing for warmer weather.
Get a Wash
If you haven’t done so already, a thorough car wash will go a long way in protecting the look and performance of your car. Salt get’s everywhere, and begins to wear down and corrode every part of car that has paint and/or made of metal. An undercarriage wash and a steam clean/thorough washing under the hood is a great way to protect your investment.
Take a Deep Breath
Your car gets filthy during the winter. So do your air filters. All the salt, grime and dust you see on the outside of your car also collects on your air and cabin filters, choking your engine and blowing poor quality air into your car. Springtime pollen only makes things worse.
Getting both your cabin and air filters changed are relatively inexpensive steps you can take to increase gas mileage, performance and air quality.
Get Rolling
Potholes. They are everywhere in spring and can wreak havoc on your car. Alignment issues are always common during the spring, throwing your tires out of position and causing them to wear unevenly. This drastically reduces the life of your tires and you will be paying for new tires in short order.
Now is the perfect time to get an alignment, particularly if you still need to switch out your winter tires with all season or performance tires for the summer.
Feel the Breeze
Turn on your air conditioner now! We don’t need it quite yet but you never know if your air conditioning unit failed during the winter months. You’ll thank yourself later when the temperatures start to spike and you are cool and comfortable in your car after getting your air conditioner serviced ahead of time.
BBack Car Care can help give your car the TLC it needs and deserves after a long, hard winter. Your wallet will thank you later for the increased value from your existing tires, car parts and increased fuel economy.
