<p>By <a href="http://www.sternpr4less.com" target="_self">Susan Stern</a></p>
<p><a href="http://sparkscarcare.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/spring.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-77" title="Spring" src="http://sparkscarcare.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/spring.jpg?w=237&#038;h=197" alt="" width="237" height="197" /></a>(Omaha,  NE)  &#8212; Spring has sprung. Now is the time to get seasonal car maintenance done!  &#8220;After Omaha&#8217;s harsh winter and pothole-ridden streets that extreme cold temps caused, a qualified technician should inspect your vehicle for suspension, steering &amp; tire damage,&#8221; notes John Stern, Owner of <strong>Sparks Computerized Car Care™</strong>. John also recommends the following Spring-specific tips:</p>
<p><strong>1. Get a Professional Car Wash.</strong> Make sure the car wash removes salt residue on the exterior and undercarriage to prevent rust.</p>
<p><strong>2. Replace Worn Wipers.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Check the Coolant.</strong></p>
<p><strong>4. Check Tires.</strong></p>
<p><strong>5. Change the Oil.</strong></p>
<p><strong>6. Schedule a Tune Up.</strong></p>
<p><strong>7. Inspect the Air Filter.</strong></p>
<p><strong>8. Interior Inspection.</strong>  </p>
<p><strong>9. Interior Surface Prep.</strong></p>
<p><strong>10. Wax vehicle.</strong></p>
<p>Spring, summer, winter, fall. You want to protect your investment &amp; maintain vehicle safety - during all.  So, John recommends that automobile drivers commit &amp; budget for &#8221;a year-round maintenance program to prevent vehicle breakdowns &amp; to increase vehicle life.&#8221;</p>

<p>(Omaha, NE)  &#8211;  Ah yes. Mother&#8217;s Day &amp; Memorial weekend are around the corner &#8212; the ideal time for families to hit the road! Before you do, Omaha automotive repair specialist John Stern recommends you have your vehicle checked by a professional technician. &#8220;Just as you would make a vacation packing list &amp; trip itinerary, drivers should make a checklist for their vehicle before embarking on a road trip,&#8221; advises the owner of <strong>Sparks Computerized Car Care</strong> <strong>™ </strong>in Omaha.</p>
<p>Consider reading through the following check list. If you answer &#8216;no&#8217; to any question, you know what to do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Has the oil been changed 3,000-5,000 miles?</li>
<li>Are the tires inflated to the right pressure?</li>
<li>Are the tires in good shape?</li>
<li>Are the wiper blades working well?</li>
<li>Is the battery fresh &amp; wires corrosion-free?</li>
<li>Are the belts secure &amp; not worn?</li>
<li>Are the brakes quiet &amp; working properly?</li>
<li>Are any vehicle lights out?</li>
<li>Is the gas cap on securely?</li>
<li>Are you a member of a 24-hour Road Assistance plan?</li>
<li>Is the sound system ramped up for the trip?</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay. All joking aside about your stereo system. Seriously, if you could not give a resounding &#8216;yes&#8217; to each of the above questions, then you should be proactive &amp; do some &#8211; road trip auto prep &#8211; before hitting the road, Jack. That&#8217;s you. Of course, <strong>Sparks Computerized Car Care<strong>™</strong></strong> here in Omaha can help you get your vehicle &#8211; in tip top shape &#8211; so your family can have a safe vacation drive.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-75" title="Map_Driver" src="http://sparkscarcare.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/map_driver1.jpg?w=212&#038;h=199" alt="" width="212" height="199" />(Omaha, NE)  &#8211;  For business or pleasure, vehicle road trips can be stressful when you get lost. Don&#8217;t fret.  <strong>Sparks Computerized Car Care<strong>™</strong></strong> Omaha NE is here to help you prepare your vehicle &amp; yourself for vehicle trips to unfamiliar territory:</p>
<ol>
<li>Carry a cell phone &amp; charger</li>
<li>Carry a detailed map</li>
<li>Invest in a GPS system, or</li>
<li>Print out mapped directions from an internet service</li>
<li>Let family, friends &amp; business associates know your itinerary &amp; keep them posted during travel</li>
<li>Scour state road construction websites for up-to-date info</li>
<li>Invest in a 24-hour emergency road assistance membership</li>
<li>Keep alert &amp; focused for signs &amp; the like</li>
<li>Get plenty of sleep before embarking on road trips</li>
<li>Make sure you eat balanced foods &amp; drink enough fluids for hydration</li>
</ol>
<p>If you get confused, pull over the vehicle in a public place like a convenience store, restaurant or gas station. There, you can get purchase a map, or ask for directions. Regarding the latter, refrain from memorizing. Jot down directions. A rule of thumb is to read them back to the person giving instructions.</p>
<p>Getting from Point A to Point B when driving to unfamiliar territory can be vexing. But with a little pre-planning, you can do so with ease. Should you get lost, <strong>Sparks Computerized Car Care<strong>™</strong></strong> Omaha hopes you&#8217;ll now have the tools you need to get back-on-track safely.</p>
