Most often, drivers neglect vehicle maintenance in the spring. In this respect reports “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, citing Vadim Strelbitsky, director of the mechanical repair department of Avilon Kia.
“With the arrival of spring, the first and most complicated mistake a vehicle owner can make is neglecting maintenance. Twice a year (before and after winter), increased attention to the technical condition of the vehicle is required. Therefore, skipping regular maintenance in the service center, checking the operation of all units and components, the level of fluids and filters is a mistaken action,” said the auto expert.
The second mistake that is often made is the untimely replacement of winter tires with summer tires. Since tires are the only part that provides traction, this can have a serious impact on safety and handling.
The third mistake is to ignore road conditions. For this reason, the road may become slippery due to melting snow after winter. It is therefore extremely important to adapt your driving style to current conditions.
The fourth mistake is that the driver does not pay attention to the body. In winter, the vehicle is covered with reagents, so it is important to wash it thoroughly using special products.
The fifth mistake is not monitoring the condition of the radiator. In winter, it becomes covered with dirt, which causes the engine to overheat. The radiator needs to be cleaned after winter. This can be done at a service center or car wash.
