Spring-Ready Cars: How to Get Your Vehicle in Shape for the New Season​

As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to prepare your car for spring. Seasonal vehicle care not only improves performance but also extends the life of your car while ensuring every journey is safe and comfortable. Here are four essential spring car maintenance tips to keep your vehicle in top condition.​

1. Check Your Tyres

Tyre safety is one of the most important steps in seasonal car care. Inspect tread depth for safe grip, look for cracks or uneven wear, and make sure pressures are correct. Well-maintained tyres improve handling, fuel economy, and safety on both city roads and long drives.

2. Replace the Cabin Pollen Filter

Spring brings more pollen, dust, and allergens. Replacing the cabin air filter ensures your air conditioning system delivers fresh, clean air, keeping the interior healthier and more comfortable for every passenger. This is a simple yet effective way to improve your driving experience.

3. Service Your Air Conditioning

Aircon performance is key to a pleasant drive in warmer months. Test your system early to confirm it’s cooling effectively. If not, book a car service for spring to recharge or repair the system. Proper air conditioning maintenance prevents strain on the unit and improves efficiency.

4. Refresh with a Deep Clean

Winter often leaves behind salt, dirt, and grime that can damage paintwork and cause rust. A full exterior wash and wax protect your car’s finish, while interior detailing restores comfort. Don’t forget hidden spots like wheel arches and seals where buildup can cause problems.
