Are You Ready to Hit the Road This Spring? | Wright Brothers Construction

Spring officially arrives on March 20. With the warmer weather comes more opportunities to hit the road. Is your car ready?

Our team at Wright Brothers Construction wants to offer some tips on getting your vehicle all spiffed up and ready to hit the road to enjoy those spring days!

Show Your Vehicle a Little TLC

Let’s take a look at ways you can help your car transition from winter to spring.

First, while we might not have had too many snow days, we did have some. This led to cities and counties applying mixtures of salt and brine to the road. This mixture can cause corrosion to occur on your vehicle, especially underneath your car. So first things first—give your car a good scrub. While rain washes away some of the salt residue, it can’t get to all areas of the vehicle. Be sure to wash underneath the car, as well as on its surface.

In addition, now is also a good time to replace your wiper blades. During the winter months, your wiper blades tend to get a good workout in with the snow, rain and even sleet. Wiper blades should be replaced at least twice a year, ideally. So now’s a good time to switch yours out, so that you can see clearly when those spring showers come through!

Finally, you want to make sure you check your tire pressure and keep your tires properly inflated. During the winter weather, cold temperatures can cause tires to lose pressure. Therefore, you want to make sure they are aligned, pressurized and ready to go to help keep you safe while on the road! Not sure what your tire pressure should be? It’s usually indicated on the panel just inside the driver’s side of the car.
