  Everyone has heard the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", and nowhere does it hold more true than with car maintenance. Even if you perform your own oil changes, there are a host of other areas on a car that need regular attention.
  
  As auto manufacturers specify increasingly longer service intervals, there is a danger of getting into the mindset that modern cars are maintenance free and just driving until something goes wrong. Invariably this ends up costing more in the long run, so it's important to have someone qualified take a look at your car at regular intervals in addition to inspections at the factory specified mileages.
  
  Spring is a great time to have a good local company look at your vehicle. Winter can be hell on a car's safety critical components as well as cosmetics and general mechanical condition so when spring rolls around, it is a good idea to have a qualified mechanic inspect anything that could have suffered over the winter months. Areas where rock salt is used on the road surface to combat ice are especially hard on cars and can cause accelerated corrosion of exposed metal surfaces that may not be visible during a casual inspection; corroded brake lines are just one of several items that could be missed by a quick once-over inspection that would be caught by a knowledgeable technician.
  A local company, more often than not, also knows what to look for on a car driven under local weather and road conditions.
  
  Even drivers who store their cars away during the winter can benefit from a spring cleaning inspection to blow away the proverbial cobwebs and identify potential problems from a prolonged period of inactivity such as seized brake calipers or leaking oil seals.
  
  Driving in the spring exposes a car to all kinds of weather. While some nights may still be frosty, the days may be sunny and warm enough to require the air-conditioning being turned on for the first time that season. Foul smells when starting up the air-conditioning can indicate bacteria growing in the air ducts; a thorough inspection to get the car ready for spring driving identifies problems like this that can really make driving unpleasant.
  
  If the worst does happen, and a vehicle suffers a mechanical failure, it usually occurs at the worst possible time, like on the way to work or picking the kids up from school. Not everyone has the luxury of multiple vehicles at their disposal, so having a local business with several convenient locations can take some of the stress out of having your personal means of transport break down and minimize towing and alternative transport costs.
