Springtime car care checklists are fairly extensive. Luckily, our Laurel, MD Ourisman Mitsubishi Laurel team likes to keep our car care simple and to the point. We narrowed down the average springtime car care checklists to the essentials. Take a look.
Caked on dust and debris can seriously diminish the power and reach of your headlights. Before rolling into spring, give your headlight assemblies a thorough wipe down. You might even want to polish the actual assembly cover with warm water, baking soda, and a soft-bristled brush of some kind. Bulb replacement may also be advisable.
Have Your Car Battery TestedToday's car batteries last between two and five years. Cold and warm temperatures both put stress on the average car battery. Cold causes batteries to work harder, while warm temperatures can evaporate battery fluid and speed up corrosion. Winter's end and spring's beginning are the perfect time to determine whether your battery is still performing up to par. Have it tested and, as needed, replaced.
