And because we’re all about making life easier, there’s a free downloadable checklist PDF at the end. 👀 Let’s go.

❄️ WINTER CAR MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST (a.k.a. "Will My Car Survive the Cold?")

❄️ Check Your Battery → Cold kills weak batteries. If yours is 3+ years old, get it tested or replaced.

❄️ Inspect Your Tires → Snow, ice, rain? Winter tires = lifesaver. Also, keep an eye on tire pressure, it drops in cold weather. (internal link : “How to check my tiers pressure”)

❄️ Top Up Antifreeze & Windshield Washer Fluid → Because frozen windshields are NOT the vibe.

❄️ Test Your Defroster & Heater → You don’t wanna find out they’re busted on a freezing morning. (internal link : “How to check my Defroster & Heater”)

❄️ Pack an Emergency Kit → Blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, and snacks (because priorities).

❄️ Check Oil & Fluids → Cold weather thickens oil, so make sure yours is winter-ready. (internal link : “How to check oil and fluids on my car”)

🚀 Pro Tip: If your dashboard warning lights are on, don’t ignore them! Your battery warning light on dashboard could mean your car won’t start when you need it most.

🌸 SPRING CAR MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST (a.k.a. "Goodbye Winter, Hello Potholes & Pollen")

🌸 Check Your Brakes → Winter roads = extra wear. If they squeak, grind, or feel weird, get them checked.

🌸 Inspect Wipers & Replace If Needed → Winter kills wiper blades. Change them if they streak.

🌸 Clean Your Car (Inside & Out) → Winter salt = rust’s best friend. Give your car a deep clean.

🌸 Check Your Tire Pressure → Temps rise, tire pressure changes. Adjust it as needed.
