Put a Little Spring In Your Car’s Step

Put a Little Spring In Your Car’s Step

Let’s face it: Winter isn’t just hard on you; it can be hard on your car, too. At Curry’s, we know what it takes to get your car revved up for springtime. Here are five low-cost tips to give your car some extra attention so it functions best in the spring sunshine.

1. Change your wiper blades.
   Even though we have not had a rough winter down south, changing your wiper blades is a great go-to coming out of winter. Blades are specified by their length in inches; round up to the nearest inch if your blades are a fraction over.
2. Check your brakes.
   It is good to check your brakes throughout the year anyway. See if you have any premature brake wear. Bring it by the shop and let a member of our team take a good look.

3. Make sure your tire pressure is strong.
   Most owner manuals tell you what pressure your tires need to optimize your driving experience and fuel efficiency. Many local gas stations have air pumps if your tires need air.
4. Clean out your trunk.
   We tend to keep random things in our trunks throughout winter. Get rid of anything that does not need to be there year-round. Your shocks and your gas bill will thank you for it!
5. Scrub the car down inside and out.
   Knock off some of that winter gloom with a thorough car wash, including a vacuum, shampoo, and dash wipe-down. We promise you and your car will both feel better.

Here at Curry’s, we know what it takes to “whisper” to cars; these five tips will make sure your vehicle is ready to hop into spring and leave the gloomy days of winter behind.
