Spring is the season when we start reviving everything after the cold season. The landscape comes back to life as the temperatures begin to rise. The flowers start to blossom, and the trees grow leaves. And just as everything blossoms, you should also show your car some love. You use it to move to different places during the sunny season.
That said, here are effective ways to prepare your vehicle as the spring season knocks:

• Check the Tire Pressure and Tread

Tire pressure can decrease as the cold weather gives way to the hot weather. This is caused by temperature fluctuations. Experts argue that the tire can gain or lose 1 PSI for every 10°F change in temperature.
Additionally, this is the right time to check the tire tread. In cold weather, salt and grime wear them off quickly. Without sufficient tread, the car can give you the worst handling capability.

• Refill Wiper Fluid and Replace Wiper Blades

Your car can run out of wiper fluids due to regular wiping out of the snow. Also, the wiper blades wear out during the cold season due to frequent use. However, during spring, you need the wiper fluid and functional wiper blades when driving. So, top up the fluid and change the wiper blades.

• Clean the Car Lights

Car lights, especially headlamps, are prone to oxidation. After the winter season, scrub the lights using baking soda and a toothbrush. Also, replace the bulbs if necessary.

• Check the Car Battery

Car battery works harder during cold seasons, and this can slow down chemical reactions. Once the spring weather knocks, it's time to test and replace the battery if necessary.

• Check and Change All Fluids

Check the oil level, the brake fluid, the automatic transmission fluid, and the power steering fluids. Always have them inspected and replaced because they collect impurities during harsh weather. Additionally, check the hoses, shocks, and the entire brake system.

• Clean and Wax the Car Exterior

Salt and grime can take a toll on the car's paint job. Clean the car and wax it professionally to give it a new look.
A car is essential to your daily activities. As such, you need to have it inspected by professionals for a better look and safety.
