Spring is coming soon, which means it’s time to tune up your vehicle.  There are a few things that you should do to get your car ready for warm weather.

To start, shampoo your engine to determine if your vehicle as any leaks.  Also don’t forget to check your tire pressure and fluid levels.

Take your car to a garage to determine the condition of your brakes, battery, and transmission.  Also have your tires checked for wear and tear.  This is necessary because if your car is running smooth and clean, you will get the best gas mileage.

Make sure you know the condition of the parts that are being used to repair your car.  If a used part is installed it won’t be covered by an auto warranty.  Save your paperwork as proof of what work was done on your vehicle in case a problem arises.

Keeping your vehicle well maintained allows it to hold its value for a longer amount of time and keeps you from shelling out more money in fuel costs.  To protect you from costly repairs, make sure your vehicle is covered by an auto warranty.  This will allow you to have peace of mind.
