Prepare your vehicle for spring

Prepare your vehicle for spring

Goodbye slush and cold temperatures! With the arrival of spring, our first reflex is to think of the summer tires and pretty rims that we will finally put back on our car. They are certainly very important, but we must not neglect the general maintenance of our vehicle. We want it to look good, but it has to feel good as well. Here are four things to check when spring rolls around.

Changing carpets

These huge rubber mats that protected our vehicle’s interior during winter? It's time to give them a well-deserved rest. This is the perfect time to deep clean carpets and seats to remove saline residues. You will enjoy the pleasure of driving a clean car while decreasing the corrosive effect of de-icing salts that have been invited into your cabin.

Changing the filters

The trees are preparing to release an infinite amount of pollen during the summer season. To reduce allergies and make the air pleasant, replacing the ventilation chambers becomes a must. It is recommended to do it every year.

Empty the trunk

It's time to travel lighter and take out the snow broom, sand bags, and telescopic shovel. It's time to clear the trunk, dry the mats, and check the condition of our tire repair kit. The latter is a must with all of the potholes around the city.

Stay aligned

When getting your tires put on your vehicle, take the opportunity to observe the wear on your winter tires. If the wear is uneven, it is essential to proceed with a wheel alignment. In addition to preventing the premature wear of your summer tires, good alignment has a positive impact on the handling of your car and, by the same token, the driver's driving pleasure.
