Get your vehicle ready for Spring!

It’s time to pack away all those winter coats, and unpack the bathing suits. Just like spring cleaning around the house, your vehicle requires the same type of treatment. After months of salty roads, and hard cold starts; your vehicle deserves a fresh start. Before you take off on that long weekend getaway this spring, make sure your car will get you there safe.

First thing to do is get all that salt and grim off your car. Road salt can damage your vehicles paint, and undercarriage. Scrub away all that grim with a quality soap, and apply a fresh coat of wax. Make sure you get under the vehicle with a hose and break loose any winter grim that might be lingering under there.

Next take a look at when your last oil change was. Your vehicles life blood is the oil, and after a long winter it will need to be changed. Always change your oil filter at the same time to make sure you are not getting any of that old oil back into the system. Consumer Auto Parts sells a variety of different oils and filters, so we are sure to have something that will work for you.

Lastly, give your cabin a complete cleaning. After trekking through the snow, sand, and salt, your floor mats will need a deep cleaning. Check under your seats for all that random garbage that is rolling around. Clean out your trunk, pull out your spare tire and verify that its pressure is okay. Use an upholstery cleaner on your seats, or a leather cleaner if required. Wipe down your dash, and clean out the cup holders. Now your interior is looking good, put in an air fresher, and now it is also smelling good.
