Check Your Tires

In addition, the cold weather increases the chances of your tire pressure dropping. Thus, make sure you get an expert to get the health of your tire inspected.
Inspect your windshield wipers
The snow during the winter season keeps your windshield wipers in use. The increased wipers usage increases their tear and wears and thus, needs replacement before getting into the next warmer and rainy spring season.
Check your Battery and Filters
Your battery gets more in use during warm and cold weather. Thus, the cold weather during winter could have drained your battery. You should visit an auto shop for battery inspection in preparation for the spring season. A timely inspection helps you avoid disappointment during spring and summer trips. In addition, as the experts inspect the battery, don't forget to remind them to check the condition of the air filters.

Oil reduces friction in your car's engine, thus reducing engine damage. However, for better oil performance during the summer season, you should use heavier weight oil than in winter. Thus, changing the oil to fit the season is advisable as you prepare your car for warmer spring and summer.
