Spring is Here – Is Your Car Ready for April Showers?

Springtime in Jesup means warmer weather, blooming flowers, and, of course, plenty of rain. While the April showers help bring May flowers, they can also create hazardous road conditions, making it essential to ensure your car is in top shape. From brake and tire inspections to an oil change, now is the perfect time for a seasonal tune-up. At Wayne County Tire & Service, we want to help you prepare for the rainy season ahead. Let’s explore the best ways to keep your vehicle running smoothly this spring.

Check Your Tires – Don’t Risk Slipping on Wet Roads

Your tires are your first defense against slick roads, so ensuring they have good tread and proper inflation is key. If your tires are worn down, your stopping distance increases, especially on rain-soaked roads.

Spring Tire Care Checklist:

• Check tread depth to ensure proper grip
• Look for cracks or bulges that signal wear
• Ensure proper tire pressure for better handling
• Rotate your tires for even wear

Inspect Your Brakes – Wet Roads Mean Longer Stopping Distances

Spring showers make roads slippery, which means your brakes need to be in top condition. If your brakes feel spongy, make strange noises, or take longer to stop, don’t wait—get them checked immediately.

Signs You Need a Brake Check:

• Squeaking, grinding, or squealing noises
• A soft or unresponsive brake pedal
• Vibrations or pulling to one side when braking

Our experienced brake technicians can inspect and repair your brakes, ensuring they’re ready to handle spring’s wet roads.

Keep Up with Your Oil Changes – Spring Means More Driving

Warmer weather and longer days mean more time on the road for weekend trips or daily commutes. A fresh oil change helps keep your engine running efficiently and prevents damage caused by old, dirty oil.

Why Spring is the Perfect Time for an Oil Change:

• Cleans out sludge buildup from winter driving
• Improves fuel efficiency for longer trips
• Keeps engine parts lubricated for smoother performance

If it’s been a while since your last oil change, now is the time to stop by for a quick and professional oil change.

Check Your Wipers & Lights – Visibility is Key in Rainy Weather

With rain in the forecast, don’t forget your wipers and headlights. Streaky wipers or dim lights can make driving in the rain even more dangerous.
Spring Visibility Checklist:

• Replace worn wiper blades for a clear windshield
• Check and replace dim or burnt-out headlights
• Clean your windshield inside and out to reduce glare

If you need new wipers or headlight maintenance, we’re happy to help!
