February Maintenance Suggestions

Here is your seasonal maintenance suggestions:

Conventional wiper blades may not be able to cut it, through wet and heavy snowfall. Designed by a protective rubber boot to prevent clogging, winter windshield wipers feature beefed-up construction to lift the heavy snow and allow you to see your way out of the winter wonderland.
Inspect rubber hoses for cracks.
Inspect your battery (and connection) for dirt and corrosion.
Retest the heating and defroster systems.
Especially in colder weather months, make sure your car has a fully-functional heating system (and check your rear defroster grid by simply watching it work on a cold winter day).
We aren't in the north, but our friends up north suggest keeping your fuel tank at least half full to prevent freezing.
Even though most are good up to 50,000 miles, drive belts should also be inspected to assess wear and proper tension amongst the pulleys.
On top of seasonal maintenance - make sure you keep up with the oil changes. Most auto manufacturers recommend that engine oil changes should occur every three months or every 3,000 miles. And Oil Changes are a great time to check other fluid levels related to the operation of the car, such as the fluid for the automatic transmission and power steering.
As we head into spring, make sure to have Cutshaw Automotive check your Cabin Filter. As the pollen thickens, the flowers bring unsavory conditions to allergy sufferers. With a growing number of vehicles’ cabin ventilation systems equipped with pollen filters, those summer drives are going to be much more pleasurable. It is suggested that you replace the filter every year.
Next? Air Conditioning (can you tell that we are already thinking about warmer weather?)
