Car Care Month Tip
After the crazy winter we’ve had, we recommend an inspection, and what better time to come in than Car Care Month! Whether or not you’re coming in for an inspection, here are some things you can do to give your car a little extra attention this month!
- Lighten up your key chain – The weight of your key chain, combined with bouncing when you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.
- Park in the shade – if a garage isn’t available, minimize interior damage from UV sunlight and heat by parking in the shade.
- Make sure there isn’t moisture coming from the air pump – When topping off your tires at a service station, depress the pin of the air pump inside the inflator valve with your thumbnail. If your thumb gets wet, tell the station manager his tank needs to be drained and go to another station. Moisture trapped in a tire can cause pressure variations and corrode rims.
- Check brake fluid – Check brake fluid monthly, and if you need topping off, use the type recommended by your car’s maker.
- Keep your air clean - Check your air filter every two months, and replace it when it’s dirty.
