Don't neglect vehicle when weather changes

    Welcome back everyone. Spring is just around the corner. Your vehicle needs to have just as much attention when the weather warms up. Let us look at some tips for your vehicle when the weather warms up.
     First, lets talk about tires. As always, your tire pressure is very important. Properly inflated tires will give you the best fuel mileage for your vehicle and with the price of fuel on the rise, saving on gas is good for everyone. Also, as the temperature goes up, you want your tire pressure at proper inflation to help prevent tire failures. Blowouts are dangerous and no fun if on a family trip, so make sure your tires are at the recomended inflation and have good tread depth.
   Second, make sure the cooling system is ready for warm weather driving. Your coolant system should be checked for antifeeze levels, leaks, and make sure hoses are in good condition. Antifreeze is just as important to warm weather driving as winter driving. Antifreeze protects the coolant system and allows the engine to work at its best preformance. Don't forget the coolant system!!!
   Next, make sure that you check the belts on your vehicle. The belts may be one of the most neglected parts of the engine. Check for cracks and wear before you have a belt failure. The belts run all the systems on the engine and should be kept in good running condition. Our service technicians find it better to replace the belts if worn before there is a problem instead of a problem on the road. Make sure to have the belts checked with your next service of your vehicle.
    Also, don't forget the battery. Hot weather is hard on a battery just like cold weather. Have the battery terminals checked for corrosion and make sure the amps are good and the system is charging properly.
