Spring is here in Minnesota whether we are ready for it or not! That means it’s time to give your vehicle the attention it deserves after months of snow, ice, and road salt. Whether you’re recovering from winter damage, dealing with potholes, or simply getting your car ready for road trip season, Heritage Auto Body in Anoka, MN is here to help!
Here are a few spring car care tips to keep your vehicle looking and running its best this season.
Repair Winter Damage Before It Gets Worse
Minnesota winters are harsh on cars. Ice, road salt, and snow-covered roads can leave your vehicle with dents, scratches, and undercarriage rust. Now that the snow has melted, it’s the perfect time to:
- Fix dents & scratches before rust sets in.
- Inspect for undercarriage damage from road salt.
- Check for windshield chips caused by winter debris.
Even minor damage can lower your car’s value if left untreated. Our team specializes in paint repair, scratch removal, and rust prevention—bring your vehicle in for a free estimate!
Pothole Season is Here—Check Your Alignment & Suspension
Spring means pothole season in Anoka, and hitting one can damage your wheels, suspension, or frame. If you notice:
- Your car pulling to one side.
- A rough, bumpy ride.
- Uneven tire wear.
You might need a wheel alignment or suspension check to prevent further damage. Don’t wait until minor issues become significant (and expensive) repairs!
Spring Cleaning: Restore Your Car’s Shine
After a long winter, your car could use a deep clean to remove built-up salt and grime. Here’s how to freshen up your ride:
- Wash & wax your car to protect the paint.
- Clean the undercarriage to prevent rust.
- Vacuum & wipe down the interior for a fresh start.
- Bonus Tip: Waxing helps protect your vehicle from spring rain and summer sun damage!
Get Ready for Spring & Summer Road Trips
With warmer weather comes weekend getaways and road trips! Before hitting the road, make sure your car is in top condition by checking:
- Brakes & tire tread for safe stopping.
- Fluids & oil levels for smooth performance.
- Check Lights & wipers for clear visibility.
