Our spring weather has brought challenges to our daily commutes. You may be clearing your windshield of frost or pollen in the morning, driving through rain storms or reaching for sunglasses on any given day. This spring we've also had flooded roads.

No matter what the season brings, there are several key maintenance tips to keep in mind to get you where you're going safely and help the air. Keeping your tires at the correct pressure gives you traction for those pop-up storms and helps prevent blowouts. Tires at the recommended pressure will also help your overall mileage, saving you gas and money, and keeping the air a little cleaner.

Keep that scraper handy for those chilly spring mornings. Remember, once your windows are clear, you're good to go. Idling wastes fuel and the best way to warm up your engine is to drive it.

Using Waze or another GPS to find your way around congestion and possible road closures is another great way to save some fuel and reduce some of the stress of sitting in traffic. Lastly, don't drive around barriers or into flooded roadways.
