Upgrade your visibility by replacing worn-out wiper blades with new ones. Clear visibility is essential for safe driving, especially during spring showers.

Clean and Protect Your Car’s Exterior:

Treat your vehicle to a deep clean and wax to remove winter grime and protect the paint from spring elements. Pay attention to neglected areas like the undercarriage and wheel wells.

Inspect and Top Up Fluid Levels:

Keep your vehicle running smoothly by ensuring all fluid levels, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid, are topped up and at the appropriate levels.

Refresh Your Car’s Interior:

Give your car’s interior a refresh by cleaning and vacuuming surfaces to remove dirt, debris, and salt residue accumulated over the winter months. A clean interior enhances comfort and driving enjoyment.

Test Your Air Conditioning System:

Beat the heat by testing your car’s air conditioning system to ensure it’s functioning properly. Address any issues promptly to stay cool and comfortable during spring drives.

By following these recommendations from EpiCar, you can ensure your vehicle is well-prepared for the spring season, allowing for safe and enjoyable driving experiences ahead.
