Wiper Blades
Winter can wreak havoc on your wiper blades, especially through ice buildup . It's possible to damage them attempting to break up ice on your windshield. Wiper blades aren't usually built for Winter, so there's a good chance that come spring, you will need to have yours repaired or replaced.
If you used snow tires during the winter, it's a good idea to swap them for summer or all-season tires once the snow and ice melt. Winter tires are great for getting traction on frozen roads, but they don't perform as well once the roads thaw. If you used your regular tires during the winter, you should get them checked for any possible damage once it's spring.
From icy buildup to road salt deposits, brake lines and brake pads can take a lot of damage throughout the winter. Salt in particular can erode brake pads, making it essential to have your brakes checked every spring.
Oil
Getting your oil changed every 10,000 miles, or six months, is a good way to maintain your vehicle's peak performance. One easy way to remember to change your oil is with the change of seasons: bring in your car for an oil change at the start of every spring and fall.
Car Rust
From snowy December days in Greenwich to February downpours in Port Chester, winter weather often means your car is regularly exposed to water. All that water can bring about an unwelcome development for your vehicle: rust. Spring is a great time to remove and repair rust damage on your vehicle: after the harsh winter weather but before the heat of summer.
Potholes
Winter weather causes potholes in the spring. Ground water freezes and expands during the winter, then thaws when spring arrives, causing portions of the road to collapse. Potholes can be hard to avoid, and can cause significant damage to your vehicle. Potholes can cause flat tires, busted rims, broken suspensions, and damaged axels. If your car is damaged after driving over a pothole, it's essential that you take your vehicle in for repairs immediately
