Spring Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle

Spring is finally here, and with it comes Mother’s Day, a time to celebrate the special care and love that our mothers give to us. At Dearholt AutoCare, we believe that your vehicle also deserves a little extra care during this season. In honor of Mother’s Day and the arrival of spring, we’d like to share some maintenance tips to help you take care of your vehicle, so it can last for years to come.

Change Your Cabin Air Filter

Pro Tip: If you are prone to bad seasonal allergies, consider changing your cabin air filter more often. Especially before and after high pollen season.  

Check Your Tires

As the temperatures start to rise, it’s a good idea to check your tire pressure and tread depth. Proper tire pressure can improve fuel efficiency and help prevent blowouts or flats. Additionally, when the tread is worn down, your tires won’t grip the road as well, which can be dangerous, especially in wet conditions.

Check Your Fluids

Springtime is an excellent opportunity to check your vehicle’s fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid. Top up any fluids if they’re low, and if necessary, schedule a fluid flush to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Get Your Battery Checked

Winter can be tough on your car’s battery, so it’s a good idea to have it checked in the spring. A faulty battery can lead to unexpected breakdowns, which no one wants. Get a battery test to help you ensure that your vehicle starts effortlessly each day.

Get Your Car Washed and Detailed

Your car deserves a little pampering, and it’s an excellent time to get your vehicle washed and detailed. A professional clean-up can help you identify minor issues that need attention, and it can also make your car look and smell great, boosting your mood and self-confidence.
