Spring heralds a refreshing change in Scotland, bringing with it milder weather, blossoming landscapes, and the promise of enjoyable road trips. However, the shift from harsh winter conditions to the unpredictable weather of spring can pose unique challenges for drivers. Ensuring that your vehicle, especially your windscreen, is prepared for spring is crucial for safe driving. Strathclyde Windscreens is committed to helping you make the most of this beautiful season by offering essential tips and services for preparing your vehicle for springtime driving.

Essential Springtime Vehicle Preparation Tips

Spring brings a mix of rain, sunshine, and sometimes remnants of winter chill, all of which can impact your vehicle’s performance and safety. Here are some vital tips to get your vehicle spring-ready:

  • Comprehensive Windscreen Check: Start with a thorough examination of your windscreen. Look for any chips or cracks that may have developed over the winter. These imperfections can expand with changing temperatures, potentially leading to bigger issues. Strathclyde Windscreens specializes in assessing and addressing such damages, ensuring your windscreen’s integrity is restored.
  • Replace Worn Wiper Blades: Wiper blades often wear out after the winter due to ice and debris. Replacing them in spring ensures they don’t compromise your windscreen with inefficient cleaning or scratching, which is essential for handling spring showers.
  • Deep Clean Your Windscreen: Winter driving can leave your windscreen dirty with salt and road grime, which can obscure your vision and weaken the glass. A deep clean will not only improve visibility but also extend the life of your windscreen by removing corrosive substances.
  • Ensure Proper Fluid Levels: Check and refill your windscreen washer fluid with a solution suitable for spring conditions, which can help clear pollen and road salt residue effectively. This is a simple yet crucial step for maintaining clear visibility.
  • General Vehicle Maintenance: Beyond the windscreen, it’s a good practice to check your vehicle’s tyres, brakes, and lights. Spring can bring wet roads and varying light conditions, so ensuring these components are in top condition will keep you safe.
