Things To Check Up On:

Check on all of your vehicle’s fluids. Engine oil, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid, and any others you can think of.
Be sure to check on the hoses and belts under the hood of your vehicle. Check for cracking, bulging, and excessive wear and tear.
Take a look at your battery, make sure it has tight connections, is corrosive free, and ready to take you the distance this season.
Hearing noises? It might be your exhaust system. Check for damage or leakage.
Want great fuel economy and low-level emissions? Schedule an engine tune-up or fuel line flush!
Temperatures are on the rise – give your HVAC system a look over and have it serviced if you think your system is having issues.
Fill up your tires to the proper PSI levels and check your tread levels. Look for uneven tread wear or excessive wear and tear.
Your lighting is a vital component in your vehicle. Be sure to check over all the lighting fixtures and ensure that bulbs are in proper working condition. If your headlights look foggy, consider scheduling a restoration service.
Don’t forget about your windshield wipers. April is known for heavy rain showers. Don’t be caught in the rain with old, worn out wipers!
