Spring is almost here! Which means it\u2019s time to usher out the old and bring in the new \u2013 and what better way to do it than by giving your car a thorough cleaning and checkup? Here\u2019s a few helpful tips to get your car ready for all those summer road trips.<\/p>\n

Focus on the interior<\/h4>\n

A great starting point is the interior of your car. Take the time to rid your car of everything and anything that may have accumulated during the colder months. This includes fly away papers and wrappers, but also all the dirt, dust and mud you may have accumulated over the course of the winter. Hidden perk of all the vacuuming you will be doing? You will be outside, enjoying the awesome spring weather.<\/p>\n

Check your tire pressure<\/h4>\n

With the new season comes fluctuating temperatures, which means the tire pressure in your car will change. When it\u2019s colder outside,\u00a0the pressure in your tires will decrease\u00a0causing you to\u00a0put more air in. In the spring,\u00a0you may actually have to do the opposite. If the tire pressure in your car goes beyond the\u00a0manufacturer\u2019s\u00a0recommended amount, it\u00a0can seriously affect your fuel economy and vehicle drivability.<\/p>\n

Give the exterior a good wash<\/h4>\n

You have cleaned the living daylights out of your interior. Now it\u2019s time to do the same to the exterior. A good wash and wax will really do the trick in getting all the crusted – on road grime and salt buildup off your car.<\/p>\n

Letting it sit can often lead to paint damage and even rusting which can cause other serious problems. If you can, try to get the undercarriage as well during your wash as it is most susceptible to rusting.<\/p>\n

Want to maintain that squeaky clean shine of your car but are faced with tons of bugs in your grill? Here\u2019s a pro tip \u2013 keep a pack of dryer sheets in your car for those moments when it\u2019s looking extra buggy. A dryer sheet will help removed all that baked on bug goo in little to no time. You don\u2019t have to use a fresh dryer sheet \u2013 a used one will do just fine (and you will be recycling too).<\/p>\n

Take a peek under the hood<\/h4>\n

More than likely everything is okay \u2013 but it\u2019s probably a good idea to make sure the winter weather didn\u2019t dislodge any hoses or eat away at the likes of serpentine belts. It may also be a good idea to check your coolant systems to make sure your car won\u2019t overheat, and just as a precautionary measure \u2013 maybe\u00a0check your oil too.<\/p>\n

Consider getting your tires realigned<\/h4>\n

Whether you want to admit it or not, you have probably hit a couple of potholes over the winter (it happens to the best of us). However, each time you hit a pothole, you run the risk of throwing your alignment and suspension off a little more each time. Not sure if it\u2019s time to get your tires realigned? Follow this checklist:<\/p>\n
