Spring is the time of year when many Nags Head residents head for the outdoors to enjoy picnics, concerts, sporting events, and road trips. In order to do those things, you'll want to be sure your vehicle is in solid condition to take you there without worry. That means it's time to get busy with a little spring car care and service for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram car. Here are our best spring cleaning tips from the team.
Clean It Inside and Out
A winter of driving around Kill Devils Hills can do a number on the body and undercarriage of your vehicle. Now that the weather's getting warmer, you'll want to be sure to thoroughly scrub inside and out to remove road salt residue and stuck-on grime. These can be corrosive and lead to rust. Taking time to spray it down and wash it up can prevent corrosion and extend the life of your car. The inside will need some attention, too. Remove floor mats and clean underneath to avoid damage to your floorboards. Wiping down surfaces and removing unnecessary winter maintenance items, like ice scrapers, will give your ride a fresh start for spring.
