Out With the Old, In With the New—Get Your Car Ready for Spring
Spring isn’t just a time for cleaning your home—it’s also the perfect moment to refresh your ride. After months of battling snow, salt, and slush, your car needs a little TLC to get back into peak condition for the road ahead.
Here’s your spring car care checklist to start the season fresh.
1. Say Goodbye to Winter’s Mess
Salt, grime, and road debris don’t just make your car look dirty—they can also cause rust and long-term damage.
Wash your car thoroughly, including the undercarriage
Vacuum & clean the interior—salt stains on carpets speed up wear
Check for rust spots and apply a protective wax
Pro Tip: If you find any rust forming, treat it early before it spreads.
2. Swap Out Your Winter Tires
Winter tires are built for snow and ice—but once temperatures rise above 7°C, they wear down faster and reduce fuel efficiency.
Switch to all-season or touring tires to improve handling & save on fuel
Check tire tread & pressure—a properly inflated tire extends lifespan
Rotate your tires for even wear
Find the right RoadX tire for your spring drives.
3. Freshen Up Your Windshield & Wipers
Between freezing rain and road spray, your wipers have worked hard all winter. If they leave streaks or skip across the glass, it’s time for a new set.
Replace old wipers for better visibility in spring showers
Fill your windshield washer fluid with an all-season formula
Check for small windshield chips before they turn into big cracks
4. Under the Hood Check-Up
Cold weather takes a toll on your car’s battery, fluids, and engine belts.
Test your battery—if it’s over 3 years old, consider replacing it
Top up engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid
Inspect belts & hoses for any cracks
5. Plan Your Next Adventure
Spring means longer days and open roads—where will you go first? Whether it’s a scenic highway drive or a weekend getaway, your car should be in top shape to take you there.
