Getting Your Muscle Car Ready for Spring Driving Season

spring muscle car maintenance

After months of storage, your muscle car needs careful attention before hitting the road. A proper spring prep routine prevents breakdowns and protects long-term value.


Start with a Visual Inspection

Check for leaks, cracked hoses, loose wiring, and signs of rodents or corrosion.

Refresh Fluids and Battery

Inspect oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Recharge or reconnect the battery before starting.

Tires, Brakes, and Suspension

Look for flat spots, dry rot, and brake performance issues that may have developed during storage.

First Start Matters

Start the engine slowly, listen carefully, and allow it to warm up fully before driving.

At Restore a Muscle Car, we help owners transition smoothly from storage to driving season—so spring starts stress-free.
