Guess what?! April is car care month and we want to make sure that your car is in the best position for Spring.
At
Larry H. Miller Toyota of Colorado Springs,
put together these car care tips for you to
notice as Spring approaches. The best time to get your vehicle checked is to have us conduct a
multi-point inspection for your vehicle in our
service department. Here are some other items to notice and check in case you can make it in:
- All fluids: Your engine oil, power steering fluids, brake, transmission as well as windshield washer fluid, and the antifreeze coolant.
- Battery Life: along with making
sure there is no acid build-up on the car battery. Also, look at the
cables connected to them to make sure they're in good help.
- Schedule a Spring tune-up: This will always help with your car's performance.
- Air Conditioner: The summer is coming fast, make sure you're prepared with a well working AC.
- Tires: This includes tire pressure and the tread tread. Keep
in mind that uneven wear on the tires in an indication that you need an
alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.
- Hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.
- Wipers: You'll want to make sure your wipers cleanly wipe away water for the most optimal viewing out of your car's window.
- External Lighting: Break lights and head lights.
- Brakes: Normally,
you should have these checked at your oil changes, but when breaking
while driving, check to see if everything feels right as well.
