3 Spring Car Maintenance Tasks to Do in Order

Check and adjust tire pressure Tire pressure drops about 1 psi for every 10°F drop in temperature, so by spring you are likely running low. Use the sticker inside your driver’s door, not the sidewall, for the correct pressure.

Replace worn wiper blades Your wiper blades have been scraping ice and salt for months. If they are streaking or chattering, replace them with any mid-range brand.

Wash the undercarriage and vacuum floor mats Salt residue eats your undercarriage, so hit a self-serve car wash with an underbody spray before the first warm rain. Vacuum your floor mats to prevent trapped salt from turning into white powder.
