Spring Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle

As the weather warms up and the snow melts away, it’s time to start thinking about spring maintenance for your vehicle. Spring is an ideal time to get your car serviced, as the cold winter months can take a toll on your car’s performance.

To help get you ready for all your fun post-winter getaways, we’ve put together a list of the best services to have performed on your automobile in the spring.

1. Oil Change:

One of the most important services you can have performed on your car is an oil change. Oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine, and it’s important to keep it clean and fresh. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes less effective at protecting your engine, so it’s important to get an oil change at least once every 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.

2. A/C Service:

Another important service to have performed on your car in the spring is air conditioning service. It's important to keep you and your family happy and comfortable on the road. Bad A/C can make a road trip no fun if you're in an extra hot area and can't get cool. Make sure you get your vehicle's A/C checked and serviced so everyone has the coolest time!

3. Brake Service:

Your brakes are one of the most important safety features of your car, so it’s important to have them inspected regularly. During a brake inspection, our technicians will check the condition of your brake pads, rotors, and calipers. They'll replace any worn parts and make sure they are in their best working condition.

Here's a five-star review from one of our satisfied customers:

"They did a complete brake service for me and I couldn't believe the difference it made! My brakes were so smooth and responsive after they worked on my car. And oh man, were my brakes in bad shape! Fast, friendly and so affordable! Can't recommend them enough!!!"

4. Battery Test:

Cold weather can be hard on your car’s battery, so it’s a good idea to have it tested in the spring. Our technicians will inspect your battery and make sure it has enough charge to start your car. If your battery is low, we can replace it with a new one and keep your car starting and running strong.

5. Coolant Flush:

Another important service to have done in the spring is a coolant flush. This will help to keep your engine running at its optimal temperature, and it will also help to prevent any corrosion or buildup in your cooling system. This is especially important in the hot summer months when cars are the most susceptible to overheating.

By having these services performed on your car in the spring, you can rest assured that your car will be running smoothly and safely for the rest of the year.
