Check air pressure in the tires.Charge both car batteries fully over night or maybe you had them on a trickle charger already.Check all fluids,look at the belts.Run the a/c for a few minutes to lube it up.Put a can of seafoam additive in the gas tank and enjoy them both.

thanks ohlord. Over the winter I just started them about once a week. Should I still charge the battery then?

Yes .starting once a week will not fully charge the battery and can shorten the life.Also starting once a week and not getting up to operating temp leaves a lot of moisture in the system so get them out on the road and open them up
