Spring Car Care Tips From Modern Classic Motors

Check your fluids, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid to ensure they are at the correct level. Additionally, inspect power steering fluid levels to ensure they are visible in the reservoir and topped off when necessary. Inspect your tires for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or bulges in the treads. Ensure the tire pressure is at the recommended level, and get a tire rotation if it hasn’t been done recently. This will help to ensure maximum tire life and even wear patterns on all four tires.

Check your brakes for signs of wear and tear. Replace worn pads or discs, and have one of our technicians in Grand Junction, CO check for additional problems. If your vehicle has been sitting idle since the winter months, start it up and let it run for several minutes before driving to allow the engine to warm up slowly and get the fluids circulating. Check for any squeaking or squealing noises that signify wear and tear. Get the exterior of your car washed and waxed to make it look great and help protect against rust due to road salt in the winter months.
