Even though, at first glance, spring is a milder season, it is also an unpredictable season, with all kinds of weather phenomena that can be difficult to manage even for the most experienced driver. Therefore, if you have a serious and unforeseen problem, you can confidently call the Towing company near me with Future Towing, especially since you benefit from non-stop car towing, no matter where you are in the country.

How to prepare your car for spring:

• Do a general cleaning of the car, from inside to outside, and change the tires.

Just like spring cleaning a house, it is important that your car also receives such treatment with the arrival of the warm season. First, make sure that you collect all the unnecessary things in the car (packaging, napkins, masks, etc.). Then, you wash the car inside and out. On the inside, you insist on the carpets and, especially, on the driver’s pedal bridge, because in the cold season, a lot of dirt and corrosive substances from snow and mud accumulate. On the outside, you insist on the wheel arches and chassis. These have been even more exposed to salt and corrosive substances all winter, and that is why it is important to clean them as best you can. A good idea would be to wax the bodywork to limit the traces left by winter.

Last but not least, don’t forget to change your winter tires to warm tires. And if you’re caught by surprise by snow in April and have a problem, don’t hesitate to call our 24/7 Winnipeg Towing Service.

• Check all the car fluids

Winter usually leaves a lot of marks on a car, some more visible, some less so. Among the less visible are impurities left in the car’s fluids. If it’s not something you’re good at, ask a mechanic to carefully check your engine oil, brake fluid, or the fluid that helps power steering or gearbox work.

Here, you can also take care of the windshield fluid. This is also a good idea to check and then replace with a suitable version for the warm season. And since we mentioned the windshield, carefully clean the windshield, windows, and mirrors of the car. Corrosive substances used in winter can also affect driving visibility. Don’t forget about the headlights and taillights.

• Make sure that all electrical parts, the braking system, and the engine are working properly.

Winter can affect your car’s electrical system and brake pads. Usually, in the spring, there is a risk that moisture and cold will oxidize the electrical contacts, so it is important to check them well together with the general overhaul of the car. The braking system is extremely stressed in the winter, so spring is a good time to make sure that it is working properly or if the brake pads need to be changed. Don’t forget about the air conditioning either. It would be a good idea to check it now to know that it is working properly.

In case you have problems with all these systems once you are on the road, it is best to react calmly, pull over, and call on the non-stop Roadside Assistance Near Me and towing services offered by Future Towing. We are an experienced towing company, and we can intervene promptly anywhere in the country.

What faults can occur in the car’s braking system?

A car’s brakes are by far its most important components, the braking system practically representing a safety element without which the car would no longer be able to drive. According to a report recently published by the Romanian Auto Registry, a significant number of cars checked in traffic during the past year were identified with problems with the braking system. According to the legislation in force, in case of problems with the braking system, the car’s registration certificate may be withheld.

Wheel Problem in hot session

If you are behind the wheel and feel that there are certain problems with the braking system, it is advisable to act immediately and stop the car. Even if you want to continue your journey, it would be best not to do so, as this puts both you and other road users in danger. If you have found that your car has a problem, you can call on roadside assistance or towing services!

Any driver must be aware that the braking system of the car they drive can fail sooner or later. First and foremost, we must know that the braking system is built of parts that require replacement after a certain period. The brake pump is the most important component of the braking system, which is accompanied by the disc, pads, drums, shoes, calipers, and fluid. Leaving aside the brake pads and discs, the most important consumable is the brake fluid. The most frequently changed parts of the entire system are most certainly the brake pads.

If the brake fluid is not replaced for a long time, it loses its properties due to moisture absorption. Even if it is in a very small amount, water in the brake fluid will produce the effect of soft braking. More precisely, the brake will prove ineffective, which is extremely dangerous! This inefficiency will be observed especially in the case of somewhat more violent braking, when the temperature in the calipers reaches high values. After moisture absorption and the formation of water, some air bubbles will appear in the installation, even if normally the brake fluid does not reach the boiling point.

Serious problems can also occur when brake discs become oval. Fortunately, the symptoms can be easily noticed even by the most inexperienced, with vibrations in the steering wheel or in the car body appearing when the brakes are applied. In this case, the brake discs should be replaced as soon as possible!
