Spring into Car Care: Must-Know Tips for Warmer Weather Car Maintenance

Spring is a season of renewal, and that includes your car! After enduring the cold, snowy winter months, your vehicle may need extra care to get back in top shape. At OTA Car Care Center in Lanoka Harbor, NJ, we’re here to help you transition smoothly into spring driving. With warmer weather around the corner, let’s explore how to prepare your car for the season ahead.

Spring Car Care Tips:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Top Off Fluids:
    Spring is a good time to check and refill all fluids, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. At OTA Car Care Center, we ensure your car’s fluids are at optimal levels.
