During the winter, chances are that you outfitted your car with winter gear, be it snow tires, thicker wiper blades, or more. And while those additions probably helped you during the colder months, those same ones won’t help in April’s warmer and rainier weather. We here at Fitzgerald Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Lexington Park want to share several spring car care tips you may want to check out.
How to Prepare for Spring Weather
Replace Your Tires
If you’re someone you added snow tires to their vehicle so that you could traverse the streets of Prince Frederick better in winter, those same tires will need to be changed. While they may have worked in snow and ice, they don’t perform the same in warmer weather, so replacing them is all-weather tires is a good idea.
Replace Your Wiper Blades
Most Waldorf, MD drivers will add thicker wiper blades to handle heavy snow in the winter. But those types of blades don’t function the same in the rain. That is why when you bring your vehicle to our service center - our mechanics can swap out your winter blades for those better suited for the spring.
Check Your Brakes
Your brakes are your first defense in protecting you when out on the road. And in the winter, the cold can wear down your brakes much faster. That’s why it’s a good idea to have our technicians inspect your brakes this April, to ensure they’re working properly.
