Spring is finally here, and with the cold slowly giving way to cool breeze and bright sunshine, it’s time to head outdoors and remove the traces of winter. As you start spring cleaning, make sure to include your car and get it in top shape for outdoor adventures this season. From the engine, tires, and all the way to the exterior such as auto glass, it’s time to get rid of the debris and damage brought by the winter with a maintenance check, cleaning and auto glass repair to make your car ready for spring in Brampton. Learn about some useful spring cleaning tips for your car here:
Schedule a Maintenance Check
Spring is the perfect time to schedule your car’s annual check-up. You may have started cleaning the exterior and gotten rid of the last traces of salt, ice and snow on your auto glass and noted some repair needs, but many other parts that keep your car moving also need to be maintained after working hard to let you drive safely through the winter in Brampton.
Make sure your maintenance check-up includes an engine check; oil and oil filter change; car battery check or replacement; replacement of damaged belts and hoses; replacement or rotation of tires and regulated pressure, including the spare; and power steering, brake, transmission, coolant and windshield wiper fluid check or replacement. If your car is older, have its chassis parts lubricated, especially replacement steering and suspension components. To function well, your car’s engine air, cabin air and fuel filters also need to be checked and replaced if these were damaged or clogged over the winter.
Clean Out Your Car
Driving during the winter in Brampton got messy at times, to say the least. The snow, slush, salt and other debris on the road could have taken a toll on your car. It’s time to give it a fresh appearance that matches the season. You can clean out your car’s body and auto glass with a thorough body wash and wax job to give it back its shine. You can also check for chipped paint and scratches both on your car’s body and auto glass that winter debris on the road caused, and have these repaired. Finally, create a pleasant environment inside your car by clean out salt and small rocks stuck to your winter boots that made their way to your carpets, and other trash accumulated.
Improve Road Visibility
Winter provides the most challenging weather conditions on the road with heavy snow, debris and strong winds. During this time, it was very easy for icicles to fall on your car, rocks and other debris like salt to come flying at your car’s auto glass and the roads becoming not only slippery, but increasingly difficult to see from your windshield. Now that winter is over, it’s time for an auto glass repair to fix the scratches and cracks these foreign objects could have caused and make it unsafe for you to drive as your view of roads in Brampton is compromised.
Aside from an auto glass repair, replacing your wiper blades and checking your car’s lighting also helps you see the roads in Brampton better and drive safer. Torn or cracked wiper blades won’t be able to clear your windshield of rain as spring showers come. On the other hand, defective interior or exterior lights can cause hazards on the road, as it would be hard for other drivers to properly see you and understand your stopping or turning signals, resulting in fatal crashes.
