Spring is the perfect time for a vehicle maintenance check – especially after winter – to determine if any of your vehicles components need servicing. Here’s what we recommend and our Mooresville based skilled mechanics are standing by to service your vehicle to keep your ride running smooth!
- Batteries, Plugs & Wires: It’s important to test and replace old or weak batteries, plugs and wires to maintain peak engine performance and efficiency.
- Tire Pressure: Cold weather can reduce tire pressure, so make sure all tires, including the spare, are properly inflated and balanced.
- Belts and hoses: Inspect and replace worn or cracked belts, as well as hoses that are blistered, brittle or too soft. Replacing belts and hoses can help prevent overheating and other serious engine damage.
- Brakes: After a season of snow and ice, you will want to have your brakes inspected, including lines, hoses, parking brake and brake fluid for proper level.
- Suspension & Wheel Alignment: Potholes can cause a variety of problems for your vehicle. From tire damage, wear on shocks and struts to suspension damage and steering misalignment, if you hit any potholes this past winter, inspection is a must!
- Fluid Levels: From engine oil, transmission fluid, and brake fluid, to antifreeze and windshield washer fluid, make sure they are topped to optimal levels.
- Engine Air filter: A clean air filter can help with fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and can even prolong the life of your engine by trapping dirt and debris that could damage the engine.
- Windshield Wipers: For your safety, and to maintain peak visibility during those spring showers, it’s important to change your windshield wipers if they show any signs of wear or cracks.
