National Car Care Month Tips Preparing Your New Or Used Audi

Pamper your luxury vehicle this April - after all, it's National Car Care month, the time to show your new or used Audi a little extra love. Here are ten tasks to carry out this month in honor of National Car Care Month.

1. Check for adequate fluid levels.

Even those who turn to their Portland Audi shop for an oil change are capable of checking their own vehicle's fluid levels. To get the expert's opinion on how to do this for your new or used Audi, consult with the techs at your Portland or Vancouver Audi dealership. Once you know how, check your levels every week to make sure your engine is getting the fluids it needs to deliver peak performance.
 2. Evaluate HVAC performance.

Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) is not just a "nice to have" feature. HVAC is a "must have" for safety. If your defroster doesn't work, for instance, you could easily get into an accident during a snowstorm. If your HVAC is wonky, schedule a tune up at your Tigard or Vancouver Audi dealership.

3. Replace compromised hoses.

Regularly inspect the v-belts, serpentine belts, and timing belts in your new or used Audi. Replace any cracked or otherwise compromised belts, so as to avoid having a belt break in traffic.

4. Change the oil, check the filters.

If you're not much of a mechanic, let the Portland Audi experts at your local garage handle your oil change and filter examination. If it's been a while since your last tune-up, it's wise to take it to your North Portland or Vancouver Audi dealership for a complete system diagnostic.

5. Boost engine efficiency.

The engine gurus at your Portland Audi repair shop have methods of boosting fuel mileage while diminishing pollutant emissions.
 6. Check tire alignment and air pressure.

Check your tire pressure once a month at a minimum. Be aware of the conditions of your tires; examine the sidewalls, where most flat tires originate, as well as the depth of the tread. If your tires are worn down below the manufacturer's tread specifications, it's time to get new tires. Have your alignment adjusted annually.

7. Get new wipers and replace broken lights.

Even mechanical novices can change out windshield wipers and exterior lights in most models.
 8. Spiff up the inside of your New or Used Audi.

Carrying around all that clutter inside your new or used Audi only drags down your mileage. Clean the interior windows with glass cleaner and use newspapers rather than towels for a streak-free finish. Vacuum out the interior as well.

9. Assess the condition of your battery.

Tighten loose battery connections. If you see corrosion around the battery connections, it may be time for a new battery.

10. Examine suspension, steering, and brakes.

Brakes, steering, and suspension systems should be tested at least once a year. If you you're your car into the Portland Audi shop for oil changes, ask your mechanic to assess the state of the brake drums, rotors, and linings while he replaces the oil and filters.
 Keeping your Portland Audi in top shape by conducting regular maintenance brings several advantages. For instance, you can expect a higher resale value for a car that's been well cared for. Additionally, these maintenance tasks will extend the life of your car and make for a more enjoyable driving experience.
