Give Your Car a Thorough Cleaning
Salt-covered roads may have helped with traction, but they also caused damage to your undercarriage. The underbody and wheel wells must be thoroughly cleaned. Unchecked salt accumulation causes corrosion which gradually erodes vital components. Your car will feel and look brand new after a proper detailing session.
Inspect and Replace Your Tires
Cold weather messes with tire pressure, and those icy roads may have worn down your tread. This is the time to check your tires for uneven wear and make sure the PSI is at the manufacturer's recommended level. Changing your winter tires for summer or all-season tires will improve handling and fuel economy. Depending on the type and brand a new set could cost anywhere from $600* to $1200*.
