After a long , cold winter, there is something therapeutic to clean the family car. It does not seem to matter if someone does it himself or sends it to a dealer; It is certainly good to get into a clean and well maintained car. The transmission side of my brain is convinced that it works better too, though I have no empirical data to support this stupid statement.
As summer approaches quickly, you not only get on with the local car wash, but also with five elements that motorists should watch out for before leaving.
stay calm
Does the air of the fans of your board burn with all the energy of an asthmatic who beats you with a straw? Is the air "great" with a touch of mold? It might be time to keep your air conditioning.
Cold air on request from the vents of a car is cooled by a system under the hood that uses coolant to lower the air temperature before it is directed into the ventilation system and into the cabin. Sometimes this refrigerant stops working because it has escaped or because it is just worn out. An experienced shop can reload the system and bring the interior of your car up to the level of meat storage in no time.
Another, often forgotten part of the air conditioning system is the cabin air filter, through which the entire outside air must flow before entering the vehicle. In most vehicles, this is a simple and inexpensive replacement piece that most people with a single car name can do alone.
tire
Of course, you took the winter bubble gum out of your car and replaced it with summer shoes, but remember to give her a rubber scrub before you go on a trip?
Your tires are the only point of contact between you and the road, so it's important to take care of them. Poorly maintained tires can cause a variety of problems:
- Stones that are trapped in the tread block can reduce traction
- Insufficient pressure leads to premature and potentially hazardous wear
- Dirt on the road can sometimes damage the sidewall of a tire
- Breaks caused by road hazards can lead to air leaks
One simple solution is to apply foam to the tires, which will not only make the tires new, but also inspect the rubber rings of your car to detect the above dangers. If something bothers you, especially if the roof nail sticks out of the wall, make sure that it is repaired by a specialist. Quattro Tire.com is your Canadian expert in terms of tires.

Clean, clean
Replace your wiper blades before summer. After a long winter of sweeping the salt and the plow-torn stones, they will most likely not work full force. Broken or broken brushes will not do much in the midst of a relentless summer rain in the DVP if visibility is reduced, but this type of BMW insists on exceeding several hundred speed limits.
Many auto parts shops, and even small department store department stores, have useful resources in the form of a book or interactive computer manual to tell you what size windshield wipers you have left. It's a cheap insurance against this guy spraying the spray on the BMW.
Control your fluids
No, it's not the level of fluid in your travel mug, though it's not a bad idea to cover. In this case, we talk about the fluids in your car, such as oil, coolant and windscreen washer fluid.
A certified workshop can provide your vehicle with an oil change and exchange the old lubricant for five (or six or as many as you need) liters of fresh produce. Clean engine oil is essential for the proper functioning of a motor; Dirty oil worsens and does not protect the engine from metal abrasion on the metal. Failure to replace the engine oil can result in low engine performance and higher fuel consumption.
Six important fluids to register your car
loaded
Check your charging system, whose main component is the battery. Cold temperatures can make a number, so it's a good time to try it out. Most auto parts sites perform a free battery test without the need for an appointment.
If the bonnet works, also check that the battery is secure and that the connections are clean, tight, and free from corrosion. Batteries older than five years can not be charged. Keep in mind that most car batteries contain acid, so wear gloves and goggles before handling them.
Ounce prevention, treatment book
Yes, this title looks like the bleating of a dominant father ... but in that case, it's true. The incessant heat of summer intensified by the intermittent traffic will have its effect in your vehicle. Add to the effects you felt during the previous Canadian winter, and it's easy to understand how an imprudent vehicle can be ready for a breakdown. Combine the benefits in your favor by addressing some of the above maintenance items: battery, oil and tires. Your vehicle should last longer and could charge a higher resale price on the road.
