SPRING AUTO CARE
DID YOU KNOW?
Four auto maintenance mistakes to avoid this spring There’s no getting around it: if you want your car to run smoothly for years to come, you need to perform some basic upkeep. Start this spring off on the right foot by avoiding these maintenance faux pas . 1.Changing your tires at the wrong time. Changing your tires as soon as the snow starts to melt is a risky bet. Play it safe and wait until snowstorm warnings wind down and the temperature outside Don’t forget to take a peek beneath your car as well; rough winter roads often take a toll on your vehicle’s underbelly.
The first ever windshieldwiper, invented by Mary Anderson, was a mobile arm that was manually operated by the driver from inside the car. It was also a woman, Charlotte Bridgwood, who later invented the automatic wiper.
climbs above 7 °C. Anything lower, and the rubber on your summer tires will stiffen and lose traction. It’s an equally bad idea to keep your winter tires on year-round. Not only are snow tires less efficient than summer models, but you’ll also wear them out twice as fast if you don’t make the switch. 2. Neglecting spring tune- ups. Over the winter, the fluids that keep your car running smoothly are put to the test. It’s important to check their levels come spring and to refill as needed.
3.Putting off spring cleaning. There’s more to a good spring cleaning than a shiny, sleek car. Dirt and salt accumulated over the winter can damage the paint and cause rust to form, so get scrubbing without delay. 4.Lugging around winter gear. Bags of sand or salt, shovels, traction aids and ski racks all increase the weight and wind resistance of your car, which drives up fuel consumption. Still not eager to wash your car this spring? Get ready for rust. You’ve been warned!
