After a long Ohio winter, your vehicle deserves a thorough inspection. Cold temperatures, road salt, and potholes throughout the Miami Valley can damage critical systems.
Here’s your essential spring car care checklist.
1. Inspect Your Brakes
Winter moisture and salt accelerate brake wear. Listen for unusual noises and schedule a brake inspection if needed.
2. Check Tires and Alignment
Potholes can affect alignment and suspension. Look for:
- Uneven tire wear
- Steering pull
- Vibrations at highway speeds
3. Test Your Battery
Cold weather weakens batteries. Spring is the perfect time to test voltage and ensure reliable starts.
4. Replace Wiper Blades
Snow and ice damage rubber blades. Clear visibility during spring rainstorms is essential for safety.
5. Inspect and Replace Fluids
Check and top off:
- Engine oil
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Transmission fluid
6. Undercarriage & Rust Inspection
Road salt can cause corrosion. A professional undercarriage inspection helps prevent long-term structural damage.
