April Is National Car Care Month
The Car Care Council supports two Car Care Months a year – April and October. One for winter preparation and one for summer prep. Now that April is here, Sheehan Buick GMC wants to remind you it’s time for spring car care maintenance.
Generally speaking, preventive auto maintenance can reduce costly vehicle repairs later down the road. Dismissing a squeak or grinding sound won’t make the condition go away; instead, disregarding it will only ensure you’ll possess a more expensive repair in the foreseeable future.
On top of that, spring and fall maintenance checks are extra important because the changing seasons can be tough on cars – especially freezing and/or wet winters that test your vehicle’s engine, tires and more.
Washed out roads and potholes occur often in the spring season too – caused by harsh winter weather and spring rains. Potholes can hurt suspension systems, alignment and tires. Freezing weather can crack hoses and belts, and weaken a car battery. Salt can rust undercarriages and engine fluids can get depleted depending upon engine performance.
So get caught up with preventive maintenance on your car and remember if you need help with any automotive repair problem, you may reach out to Sheehan Buick GMC. We’re here to help.
