Spring is the perfect time to perform routine maintenance on your car, including checking and replacing wiper blades, inspecting fluids, and ensuring tires are properly inflated and aligned. Other important spring maintenance tasks include checking the battery, brakes, and air filters.
Here's a more detailed look at what to check and do:

Check and Replace Wiper Blades:
•   Worn wiper blades can compromise visibility in rainy conditions, making them a crucial safety check.
•   Inspect for cracks, tears, or damage, and replace if necessary.

Check and Top Up Fluids:
•   Ensure engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid are at the proper levels.
•   Follow your vehicle's manufacturer's recommendations for when to change these fluids.

Check Tire Pressure and Condition:
•   Temperature changes affect tire pressure, so make sure they are properly inflated.
•   Inspect tire tread for wear and tear, and consider a tire rotation to ensure even wear.

Check the Battery:
•   Cold temperatures can weaken the battery, so have it tested and ensure connections are clean and tight.

Check Brakes:
•   Brakes can be affected by winter conditions, so check for any squealing, grinding, or reduced braking performance.

Check Air Filters:
•   Inspect and replace the engine air filter and cabin air filter to improve air quality.

Check Suspension and Alignment:
•   Winter potholes and rough roads can throw off wheel alignment, so have it checked and adjusted if needed.

Check Belts and Hoses:
•   Inspect belts and hoses for cracks, looseness, or damage, and replace if necessary.

Test Air Conditioning:
•   Before summer heat sets in, test your air conditioning system to ensure it's working efficiently.
