We can help you get adequate coverage for all your vehicles with the desired policy limits, proper vehicle values, and deductibles that are appropriate for your circumstances. OK, here are the maintenance tips.
Summer
For the summer, you want to protect your car from overheating. You may want to start with a radiator flush to clean out any rust and check for leaks. Then, refill the radiator with fresh coolant.
Change the oil and oil filter. Check belts for damage and check hoses for leaks and cracks. Get a tune-up. Test the air-conditioning and get a freon recharge if needed. Replace air filters (for the motor and the cabin). Replace your battery if older than three years.
Fall
For fall, you want to get ready for cooler weather and stormy skies. Check your tires for wear. Test headlamps, turn signals, and brake lights. Get your brakes tested and make needed repairs. Check and replace worn wiper blades. Change to cold-weather-resistant window washer fluid.
Winter
To get ready for winter, check tires and change to winter tires if you live in a harsh, cold area. Clean the battery terminals of any corrosion and test your battery for holding a proper charge. Top up all fluids. Make sure you have a restocked emergency kit.
Spring
Wash undercarriage to remove salt and road mud. Change the oil and oil filter. Check the battery. Change to normal tires if you use different ones during winter. Check the tire alignment, suspension, shock absorbers, exhaust system, and brakes.
