Spring is here!! The list below contains easy tips on how to prepare your vehicle for the rising temperatures. Tips are also available daily on the Auto-Lab Facebook and Twitter pages.
Check the Tires – It’s crucial to check your tires after significant weather changes and at least once monthly. Tire
pressure changes 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit change in temperature.
Undercarriage Road Salt – Road salt can damage your vehicle’s undercarriage by eating away and corroding the metal. A thorough cleaning at a car wash will get your car clean and ward against any substantial damage.
Check Radiator and Gas Caps – Tight fitting caps on the radiator and gas caps are important. Radiator caps can corrode and deteriorate, so it is a good idea to replace yours as often as you flush the cooling system.
Flush and Fill Cooling System – We recommend flushing every 2 years on most vehicles for added insurance against engine failure.
