Check your brakes – After the cold winter be sure to check your brakes. One of the warning signs is brake noise, including excessive grinding, squealing, screeching or chatter. Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri will inspect your braking system for FREE!!!
Check your wiper blades – Your wipers work hard all winter wiping away dirt and debris on your windshield. It is a good idea to replace them in the spring to be prepared for Spring showers and the Summer conditions. Stop by Kwik Kar Automotive in Springfield Missouri to have your wiper conditions assessed for free.
Check all fluids, especially the antifreeze/coolant, to make sure they’re topped up – In the winter months, fluids are easily depleted as your engine works harder in the colder weather. Make sure to double-check all the car’s fluids regularly. Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri will check all your fluids absolutely FREE. No appointment needed.
Check the battery - They work harder when it’s cold, and winter can compromise their cranking performance up to 60 percent. Test and replace old or weak batteries, especially those more than three years old. It can be cheaper than a tow and replacement on the road. And of course Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri will check your battery and charging system absolutely free.
Don't forget to check Tires & wheels - Cold weather can reduce tire pressure, so make sure all tires, including the spare, are properly inflated and balanced, and wheels are properly aligned. Inflate tires to their recommended pressure. Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel economy by up to 3.3 percent, cause premature tire failure and are a safety hazard. Tire failures and blowouts, often a result of under-inflation, contribute to 414 deaths and 10,295 injuries each year in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In addition to tire pressure, check for tread wear and any obvious damage caused by potholes or sharp objects. And yes Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri can perform these services as well. Tire pressure checks are always free.
