While a simple wardrobe change could get you ready for the transition from cold weather to warmer weather, your car does not have that luxury. You may not have to do anything drastic in terms of preparation, but there are a handful of things you can do to ease your car into spring and summer.
Haus Auto Group is here to supply some tips on how to get your car ready for warmer weather.
Test Out the AC and Coolant
You don’t want to wait until the peak of summer to find out that your air conditioner is nearing the end of its lifespan. Rather than sweating up a storm and cranking your windows down for the slightest breeze, test your AC unit out before it gets too hot outside. Whether you need to replace your air filters or need more refrigerant, it’s better to get ahead of the game.
Additionally, make sure your radiator has enough coolant to avoid overheating your car. Low or leaking coolant could spell bad news, especially for older vehicles that are prone to breaking down.
Check Tire Pressure and Battery
Two important things that don’t apply strictly to the summer months, but important nonetheless. Make sure your tire pressure and battery are at appropriate levels to avoid needing to pull to the side of the road on a scorching hot day.
Drastic temperature changes can cause your tire pressure to fluctuate, making this even more important in the transition from winter to spring.
Use Proper Windshield Wiper Blades and Fluid
If you’ve used special wiper fluid for the winter, make sure to change to one that’s appropriate for the season. Additionally, your wiper blades may have been working overtime, especially if you’ve been through a harsh winter, so make sure your wiper blades are effective enough to keep your windshield clear.
