Maintenance Tips for the Spring Season

-

As the best car dealership in Camdenton, Hulett takes pride in providing quality vehicles and exceptional service. We also like to help you keep your important investment going for as long as possible by educating our clients on proper vehicle maintenance. So, in this week's blog, we're giving you a few maintenance tips for the spring season.

Wash & Wax

After driving on a mix of salt, ice, slush, and snow you'll want to be sure to freshen up your vehicle with a good wash and wax. These elements from winter can erode the coat and paint of your vehicle and could lead to rust. Applying wax once it's clean will help protect the exterior of your vehicle and give it a nice shine perfect for some spring cruising. 

Fluid Checks

Checking the fluids in your vehicle is always a smart idea. Neglected fluids can have a devastating impact on your vehicle and cost a fortune to replace. A few fluids you'll want to ensure are full include coolant, brake fluid, oil, and transmission fluid.

Inspect Air Filter

Regularly replacing your air filter is important as a clogged one will severely impact the performance of your engine. It's an inexpensive and simple fix that can actually save you money in the long run by keeping your gas mileage optimal.

Tire Maintenance

The winter elements can be particularly harsh on your tires. So, make sure your tires are in good driving condition and kept at optimal air pressure. The typical psi for many vehicles is 30-32, but you'll want to check the specifications of your vehicle. If you used winter tires to get around, save them and put some all-seasons tires to ride around on spring through autumn. 

Don't Forget the Inside

Just as salt can erode the outside of your vehicle, it can actually damage the inside as well. One surefire way to get the interior of your vehicle clear of any damaging salts is to use a steam cleaner, which can be rented for roughly $25 unless you'd rather invest in one yourself.

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar
