6 tips to prepare your car for the spring season


January is almost over, which means spring is in the air! Here in Clermont we don't see too harsh of a winter, but you can tell the difference when things start to shift into the new spring season. More sunshine, cool temps, and longer daylight hours are all trademarks of the new season, and this translates to more time spent outside and more miles on your car as you make the most of things before summer arrives and things heat up. However, is your car ready for spring and the changes the new season brings?

Get ready for spring with these Clermont Toyota tips

Check out these 6 tips from our Clermont auto service experts to help prepare your car for spring so you can hit the road and make the most of the new season.

Tip 1: Check your tires 
Winter can take a toll on your car tires, especially if you hit the road for a holiday road trip. Have our Toyota of Clermont auto service center techs check things out for you to ensure your tires are inflated to the right PSI, have the right amount of tread on them, and are in generally good condition.

Tip 2: Get brake service 
April showers bring May flowers, right? Spring can mean more rain integrated into your drive time and you definitely want working brakes on your side. Have our auto service techs at Toyota of Clermont check your brake system to ensure you're not due for service or repairs and that you're safe to hit the road, rain or shine.

Tip 3: Inspect your car's wiper blades
Winter can do a number on your car's wiper blades - the cold, dry air can negatively affect the rubber on the blades and render them pretty much useless. If your wipers are just smearing water around the windshield or making weird squealing noises, then it's time for a replacement set.

Tip 4: Have your battery inspected 
Did the hot-cold-hot-cold weather patterns affect your car's battery? Only one way to find out - have our auto service techs test its voltage and check the physical condition for you. Don't let yourself get stuck with a dead battery - get it in good working order for spring.

Tip 5: Detail your ride 
Spring means more sun and more intense weather, as well as lovebug season. Keep your car's paint protected - detail your car thoroughly and apply a couple of coats of good wax. The wax will protect your ride from the sun, moisture, and squished bugs.

Tip 6: Schedule an A/C inspection 
Don't let hot weather catch you off-guard and with a broken A/C. Get things ready to go full blast when things heat up outside by scheduling an A/C inspection at Toyota of Clermont's auto service center today.
