Spring car maintenance tips

Warmer weather means more cyclists, joggers and kids playing outside, increasing the need for focus. Ensure your vehicle is maintained so you can keep your attention where it belongs – on the drive.

Car Maintenance Tips

We continue the Insurance Bureau of Canada's Spring tips series with a review of their recommended car maintenance:

Warmer weather means more cyclists, joggers and kids playing outside, increasing the need for focus. Ensure your vehicle is maintained so you can keep your attention where it belongs – on the drive.

Tips to maintain your car and drive safely:

  • Schedule a vehicle maintenance check to ensure tires, wipers, and brakes are functioning properly
  • Check tire pressures each month and don't forget the spare
  • Top up on windshield wiper fluid and ensure the fluid nozzles and the wiper blades are in good working order
  • If safe to do so, do your best to avoid potholes – they can damage tires and wheels and can potentially cause you to lost control
  • If you do need to pull over, be careful on gravel shoulders, as they can be softer than usual after the thaw
  • Have an emergency kit in the car at all times as spring storms can strike at any moment
  • Pull over to use phone and other electronics
  • If something falls while you're driving, leave it until you are parked
  • Make sure pets are safely secured
  • Set your GPS prior to departure
  • Don't eat while driving if it means you need to take hands off the wheel
  • If a situation can't wait, pull over safely to deal with it
