April is National Car Care month! During the winter, vehicles are neglected because of the cold and snow. They sure could use a little extra care by now. During the winter your vehicle takes a beating. With all the snow, ice, difficult driving, and salt, your vehicle will need to have proper maintenance in the spring. This will help keep it running efficiently as well as keeping the body in good shape. If the salt stays on your vehicle, it can lead to rust and damage the vehicle beyond repair of it.

Having a Clean Vehicle

It is good car maintenance to wash your car on a regular basis, especially in the spring.
