Swap Out Your Winter Tires 

If you’re still driving on winter tires, it’s time to switch to all-season or summer tires. Winter tires are made from a specialized rubber designed for the cold, which can wear down quickly in warmer temperatures. By swapping them out, you’ll extend the lifespan of your winter set while improving handling and fuel efficiency with your warm-weather tires.

Inspect Your Brakes 

Winter conditions can put extra strain on your braking system, especially due to the corrosion caused by road salts and the harsh braking that can come with slick driving conditions. Spring is a great time to inspect the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels. Listen for any squeaking or grinding noises, which could indicate worn-out pads. If you identify a problem, don’t hesitate to schedule a brake service appointment! 

Replace Your Wipers, If Needed 

Your windshield wipers are forced to work overtime during winter. However, spring showers will demand clear visibility, so inspect your wiper blades for cracks or streaking. If they leave streaks or skip across the glass, it’s time for a replacement. The last thing you want to deal with when driving in the rain is impaired visibility!
