April is National Car Care Month and the experts at Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care, a nationwide chain that services almost any make or model vehicle, foreign or domestic, is sharing some simple tips with you that it offers its customers to keep their cars in good shape for the spring and summer peak driving season. 

With spring, in most areas, comes rain – the so-called April showers that bring May flowers. Those showers also can create hazardous driving conditions like wet, slick roads. It is important to make sure a car's tires, brakes and windshield wipers are ready for the rain. It's also a good time to check the windshield wiper fluid to be sure it's full.

In most areas, winter weather is rough on tires and the suspension system, so an important part of the spring checkup could include wheel balancing. This will help give a smoother ride and save wear and tear on the tires.

Cottman also recommends a check of all fluids, hoses and the battery as part of spring car care.

"Regular checkups help ensure that your car will remain safe and trouble-free," said Randy Wright, President of Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care.
