Shake Off the Winter Blues: Spring Car Care Tips from Kunes Auto Body

Winter's icy grip is finally loosening, and the sun is peeking through the clouds. That means it's time to ditch the snow boots and embrace the joys of spring! But before you hit the open road with the windows down, your car needs a little TLC to recover from the harsh winter months. At Kunes Auto Body, we're here to help you get your vehicle ready for the beautiful spring season.

Let's face it, winter can be brutal on your car. Salt, snow, ice, and fluctuating temperatures can cause damage that, if left unchecked, can lead to bigger problems down the line. Here's what your car might be dealing with:

• Salt and Rust: Road salt is essential for safe winter driving, but it's a major culprit for rust and corrosion.
• Tire Damage: Cold temperatures can affect tire pressure, and potholes hidden under snow can cause damage.
• Battery Issues: Winter strains your battery, and it might be showing signs of weakness.
• Wiper Blade Wear: Ice and snow can wear down wiper blades, leaving them streaky and ineffective.
• Paint Damage: Salt and debris can scratch and dull your car's paint.

Here's a checklist to get your vehicle ready for spring:

• Wash and Wax: Start with a thorough wash to remove salt and grime. Follow up with a good wax to protect your paint from the elements.
• Inspect for Rust: Pay close attention to the undercarriage, wheel wells, and rocker panels for signs of rust. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
• Tire Check: Check tire pressure and tread depth. Rotate your tires if needed. Inspect for any signs of damage.
• Wiper Blades: Replace worn wiper blades for clear visibility during spring showers.
• Check Fluids: Top off windshield washer fluid and check other essential fluids like brake fluid and coolant.

• Deep Clean: Vacuum the interior, including carpets and upholstery. Clean the dashboard and console.
• Air Filter: Replace the cabin air filter to improve air quality and reduce allergens.
• Detailing: Consider a professional detailing service for a thorough interior and exterior cleaning.

• Battery Check: Have your battery tested to ensure it's in good condition.
• Brake Inspection: Check your brakes for wear and tear.
• Suspension Check: Ensure your suspension is in good shape after enduring winter potholes.
• AC Check: Test your air conditioning system to ensure it's working properly for the warmer months.
