Be conscious of potholes in the pavement.  Snow and freezing rain along with salt from winter storms tend to erode pavement, causing hazardous potholes.

Have your antifreeze tested. It prevents your coolant from boiling in the summer.

Give your vehicle a hand car wash.  Not only will this remove winter residue from your car, which can eat away paint, it is a good opportunity for you to check for chips in your paint and/or windows.

Touching up any damage to your paint now will prevent rust from forming later.  Chips and cracks in your windshield can often be repaired when caught early, preventing you from having to replace any glass down the road - a big expense.

Replace wiper blades.  They are most likely worn out after a harsh winter.

Preserve your tires by spraying out salt and dirt with a water hose.
