April is Spring Car Care Month!

April is National Car Care Month! And spring is a great time to give your car some extra attention. Basic maintenance can go a long way toward improving the safety and dependability of your vehicle, plus it helps avoid costly repairs down the road.

Here are a few things you can do to keep your car in good shape this spring:

• Schedule a multi-point inspection: A multi-point inspection is a comprehensive check of your car’s engine and other major systems by a trained professional technician. It’s important to get this check performed at least once a year, or more often if you drive a lot. A multi-point inspection can help identify and fix any problems with your car before they become major issues.
• Get an oil change: Oil changes are essential for keeping your car’s engine running smoothly. It’s important to get your oil changed at the recommended interval, which is usually every 3,000-6,000 miles. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for your manufacturer’s suggested oil change schedule. An oil change can help remove dirt and debris from your engine, and it also replaces old oil with new oil that contains additives that help protect your engine.
• Get your brakes checked and repaired if necessary: Your brakes are one of the most important safety features on your car. It’s important to have your brakes checked regularly to make sure they’re in good working order. If your brakes are worn down, they may not be able to stop your car as quickly as they should. Getting your brakes checked can help prevent accidents and keep your vehicle operating smoothly.
• Check your tires: Your tires are another very important safety feature on your car. It’s important to check your tires regularly for wear and tear. If your tires are worn down, they will not be able to grip the road as well as they should. This can increase the risk of accidents and put you and your passengers at risk.
