Winter conditions can have a significant impact on the roads. As a result, cars often become more vulnerable to unexpected damage during the colder months. Car repairs can be expensive if not addressed early on and can lead to more significant issues. As the weather starts to warm up, it’s essential to get your car inspected by a trusted mechanic before taking it out on the road. 
Alignment
The winter season often causes roads to freeze. When the weather starts to warm up again, the roads commonly expand. This process naturally creates potholes in the roads and can lead to significant vehicle damage, especially regarding your car’s alignment. Poor car alignment can lead to tire damage, which is why it is necessary to have a mechanic inspect your car’s alignment before you drive it.
Tires
In addition to impacting your car’s alignment, the temperature transition from winter to spring can significantly affect the tire pressure of your car’s wheels. Although it is often overlooked, ensuring your tire pressure is within the correct range can limit potential issues with your car’s gas mileage and tire traction. Additionally, your car’s spare tire should be in good functioning order.
Fluids
Every car relies on fluids to run properly. Having adequate wiper fluid for the spring is vital to limit weather-related issues. Additionally, if your car needs an oil change, doing it before the spring and summer is an excellent way to limit your chances of vehicle failure when you least expect it.
Ensuring your car is in good working order can help prevent issues during the spring and summer.
