With spring right around the corner, it’s time to pack away the snow boots and prepare for warm weather.  Give your car a little TLC.  This includes making sure that your car receives maintenance.  An auto warranty will ensure that you don’t pay unnecessary repair costs.

As far as auto care is concerned, spring is the best season.  Having your car maintained and serviced can undo the damage of extreme winter weather.  Here are a few tips for service.

First of all, reference your owner’s manual to look at service schedule recommendations.  To find a qualified repair shop, make sure automotive technicians are certified.

If your engine isn’t performing properly have it corrected before vacation stop and go traffic is an issue.  Make sure to notice rough idling, stalling, and hard starts.

Have a technician check to make sure belts, hoses, and clamps are in good condition and tight.  Beware of cracking or fraying.

Make sure you flush out the cooling system and refill it.  The condition, level and concentration of the coolant should be assessed on a regular basis.

Finally, check your tires to make sure they are in good condition.  “Cupping”, uneven wear of the tread, and a pulling to one side indicates there might be a problem.

There are some simple steps that motorists can take to make sure that their vehicles are taken care of.  These include routine maintenance and the purchase of an auto warranty. After all, you never know when your vehicle will break down unexpectedly.
