It’s beginning to look a lot like SPRING!! ☀️ 🍃
Here is some Seasonal Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle:

1. Tires
If you utilize snow tires in the winter months, it’s time to swap back to the summer/performance variety as soon as snowy and icy weather has cleared.

2. Windshield Wiper Blades
Spring is a good time to inspect and replace your wiper blades, if necessary. Be sure to check that your windshield wiper fluid is replenished, as well!

3. Cylinder Head Gaskets
Place an appropriately sized sheet of cardboard under your vehicle’s engine assembly, then let it sit idle for a day or two before removing. From there you can read the “results” (the stains left on the cardboard) to identify if leaks are present and where they are coming from, including the engine oil, transmission fluid, or coolant.

4. Vehicle Underbody
The salty buildup on the underside of your vehicle can be tough to tackle. The best option is to use a high-pressure sprayer, paying close attention to the front and rear bumper areas. After spraying off, inspect for signs of rust and treat accordingly so the rust doesn’t eat through any further.

5. Oil Pan Gaskets
Replacing a leaky oil pan gasket is the most effective way to ensure your vehicle is running its best and receiving the oil it needs.

6. Brakes
Ensure you thoroughly examine the brakes. Similar to your windshield wipers, brakes can take a beating during the winter months. Listen closely for any grinding, clanking, or squealing noises. Even if you don’t hear any noise, it’s recommended you take your vehicle to a mechanic for an inspection of the brake pads and drums on a regular basis.

7. Fluids
Check all of your automotive fluids and replenish, as needed.

8. Valve Cover Gaskets
If you notice low oil levels or leaks within your engine, it may be coming from the area where the valve cover meets the cylinder head. If oil is present either below the joint where the valve cover meets the cylinder head or just above it, then it’s time to replace the valve cover gasket.
