Now you have to take care of the heart of your vehicle. It is very important that you check your battery to make sure that connections and posts are all free of any type of corrosion that can build up with the passing of time. But be careful and plan ahead! Your battery might be dead since electronics can quickly drain your battery power. Now that light and air have re-entered your vehicle, you have to get it ready for driving. Check that there are no leaks or damages before you start it back up. Make sure that the hoses and belts haven’t been damaged and change any dirty filters. One more thing: Don’t forget to take a look at the fluid levels of oil, water, brakes, coolant, power-steering and even the windshield washer fluid. And the skittish might not like this but it is very necessary that you look for nests that birds or mice may have built during the time your car was not being used - for this step, we are deeply sorry, but it’s better to check thoroughly than find out the hard way later.
