The 6-Point Spring Checkup

Winter rain is done; heat is coming. April is the cheap month to get ahead of both.

Between the rain and the heat

Spring is the maintenance sweet spot: check what winter wore (wipers, alignment after pothole season, brakes) and prep what summer will punish (coolant, battery, A/C, tires). Six checks in one driveway visit now beats meeting the same list in July, one emergency at a time.

Quick tips

Run the A/C hard once in April — discover problems before the first heat wave
Rinse winter grime from the radiator and condenser fins
Rotate tires and glance at the alignment wear patterns while they are off
