1. Visit a Holdrege Car Wash

Spring cleaning your car is an essential part of auto maintenance. The freezing temperatures and road salt of winter can do significant damage to your car, truck, or SUV’s paint job. You’ll want to visit a local car wash and get a thorough premium cleaning. Or, if you plan on conducting a DIY car wash, be sure to use baking soda to neutralize salt and save your exterior hull’s paint. 

2. Check Your Tires for Wear-and-Tear

Keeping the pressure in your vehicle’s tires regulated can optimize your gas consumption. The simple act of filling up your tires can save you plenty of money in the long run. You’ll also want to rotate your tires and check them for the worn tread to avoid a flat during your Holdrege commute. Due to the cold air and ice present during the Winter months, you’ll want to keep a close eye on these signs your car needs a tune-up. 

3. Replace Your Wiper Blades and Fluids

Snow can damage and degrade your windshield wipers. Are your wipers streaking? Then replace them with newer wiper blades. The process is relatively simple and costs next to no money. While you’re at it, you should also refill your windshield wiper fluid. 

4. Check Your Battery Life

Knowing how to tune your car means knowing how to check your car’s electrical system. Our Midway Auto Dealerships Parts Store offers free battery checks where you can find out just how strong your battery is. Is your battery losing power? You can avoid problems down the road by replacing them early.
