Car Chute

Has the harsh weather taken a toll on your vehicle? With a little love and some tender care, your car can be ready for spring in no time. CarMax, Inc., the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, and its master technicians, offer advice on how to spruce up your car for spring during National Car Care month.

• Take your car to an automatic car wash that has an under-carriage wash. This can help remove corrosive residues left behind by winter road treatments used to melt ice and snow.
• Always wax your car after washing. The wax will protect the paint from damaging UV rays.
• Change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or at the manufacturer’s recommendation and have the air filter and PCV valve checked and replaced if needed. Winter temperatures can cause the formation of harmful condensation and acids in the engine oil.
• Have your vehicle diagnosed by an automotive professional. If the engine is not running smoothly or any other conditions arise, preventive measures can help extend the life of your vehicle and improve gas mileage.
• Have a qualified automotive technician check
