Are you ready to say good-bye to winter? Does the thought of spring have you itching to go on a road trip? If you're like most people in our area and all over the country, spring could not get here any sooner! This begs the question: Is your vehicle ready? Take a look at the information we've assembled to ensure that it is ready for spring and beyond!
Tire Rotation
The recommendation for
tire rotations
is every 10,000 miles. And springtime is the ideal opportunity to get it done. With summer right around the
corner, you want the best traction for traveling on vacation. This is a good time to check your tire air pressure too. And if you need new tires, we have popular brands, such as Michelin, Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly, BF Goodrich, and many more!
Oil Change
Have you gotten behind on your
oil change
? Spring is an opportune time to catch up. An oil change is vital to the engine performance and getting good fuel economy. And even if your oil change is not due now, it's a good idea to check the oil level and assess the quality condition.
Car Wash and Detailing
Washing your car isn't just about the appearance and enjoying the shine afterward. A springtime car wash is necessary to ensure debris and road salt are removed before they cause harm to the paint. If you want to keep a polished exterior, a thorough car wash and waxing are highly recommended. Having the interior cleaned and detailed is a bonus.
Roadside Emergency Kit
While this recommendation isn't a service, it is essential. Be sure that you replenish your roadside emergency kit with anything that's been used. If you don't have a roadside emergency kit, now is the perfect time to put one together. Include items such as jumper cables, multipurpose tools, windshield washer fluid, flares, and a flashlight, just to mention a few.
Wiper Blade Inspection
Winter can be very harsh on your
wiper blades
. Despite your efforts to lift them above the windshield as heavy snow and ice are forming, severe weather conditions are no match. Before the wiper blades become completely worn and inefficient, have them inspected.
Technology Updates
Are there any new software updates needed for your vehicle? Now is the best time to find out, before there are any costly consequences. If you have an older vehicle, you probably won't need any technology updates, but you should still look into any aftermarket updates that may be available.
Battery Inspection
A
car battery
is greatly affected by winter conditions, more than any other part. You might not realize how much it has to endure to keep starting your engine. But it takes a brutal beating. Make certain the battery charge is sufficient and have it cleaned to remove any built-up acid corrosion.
Cooling System Inspection
There are about 8-10 components that make up the
cooling system
, and they work in tandem with one another. If just one part fails, then your engine could overheat. The drastic change in temperature makes those components even more vulnerable after a harsh winter.
