Springtime will be upon us before we know it, which is why it’s the perfect time to bring your car in for a little spring cleaning. Below, we’ve put together some spring maintenance tips that will ensure your car runs well right into the warmer summer months. Check them out now!
- Find out and follow your recommended maintenance schedule. Your owner’s manual should lay out a service schedule that shows recommended times when you should bring your car in for service. By following these guidelines, you’ll be keeping your car healthy and up-to-date throughout the year.
- Have your oil changed. During the colder months, your engine tends to work extra hard, especially if you need to run the heater constantly. This can cause you to burn more oil, which is why it’s imperative to bring your car in for its scheduled oil and filter change.
- Pay attention to any hard starts or stalling. Again, the cold weather can cause your engine to have a hard time running properly. If you notice that your car is having a hard time starting or tends to stall easily, bring it in to our Scottsdale service center.
- Get your cooling system flushed and refilled. Coolant is necessary, especially during the hot summer months, so go get your levels and concentration checked to make sure you’re ready to hit the road.
- Get your AC checked. As the weather starts to heat up, especially in a city like Phoenix, its essential that you get your AC checked to make sure it is working properly.
- Replace your wiper blades. The Valley has been particularly rainy these past few months, meaning that you might be in need of new wiper blades, especially as the spring months give way to summer monsoons.
