Spring Car Care Tips:
Tire Inspection and Rotation:
Winter driving can cause uneven tire wear. Rotate your tires to ensure even tread and extend their lifespan. Check for any cracks, bulges, or other damage caused by potholes.Test Your Battery:
Cold weather can weaken your battery. Have it tested to ensure it’s holding a proper charge and ready for spring travels. If it’s older than three years, consider replacing it to avoid unexpected breakdowns.Check Your Alignment and Suspension:
Winter roads are full of hazards like potholes, which can throw your car out of alignment and damage the suspension. Bring your car to OTA Car Care Center for a thorough inspection and alignment service.Replace Wiper Blades:
Spring showers mean you’ll rely on your wipers more frequently. Replace worn or streaky wiper blades for better visibility during wet weather.Clean and Detail Your Vehicle:
Winter leaves behind salt, grime, and dirt. Wash your car thoroughly to prevent rust and keep it looking great. Don’t forget to clean the undercarriage and vacuum the interior.Top Off Fluids:
