With the weather beginning to warm up outside, it is critical to make sure you take care of your vehicle. That means investing in routine maintenance. There are too many drivers who only take their vehicle to the shop when something is wrong with it, but it is always better to prevent problems from developing than to fix them after they have already appeared. At Dondelinger Chevrolet, we have one of the best service centers in the local area, and we would love to help you take care of your car. Take a look at some of the most important spring maintenance tips you need to follow, and give us a call to
schedule an appointment with our
service center.
Replace the Air Filters
One of the most important maintenance tasks you need to complete is that you must replace your air filters. You have multiple sets of air filters that are responsible for making sure that your engine and passengers have clean air. Your engine air filters are supposed to catch debris before they infiltrate your engine, where it can cause significant problems. If you want your engine to function appropriately, you need to replace your engine air filters on time.
You also need to replace your cabin air filters, particularly if you want to keep the pollen out of your car. This is particularly important for people who have chronic respiratory conditions, so if it is time for you to replace your cabin air filters, give us a call to
schedule an appointment with our
service center.
Inspect the Battery
Next, you must make sure you inspect the battery as well. Your battery is responsible for powering the electronic components of your car, but your battery is also responsible for starting your engine. If you want your car to start when you turn the key, you need to inspect the battery to ensure it can still hold a charge adequately. You should expect your battery to last between 3 and 5 years. If your battery is getting to the end of its lifespan, you need to replace it before your car dies. Give us a call to
schedule an appointment with our
service center, and let us check and see if your battery can still hold a charge.
Check the Brakes
You must make sure that you check your brakes as well. There are a lot of moving components that must work together to bring your vehicle to a complete stop on time. For example, there is a chance that your brake pads might be worn out, or you might need to replace your brake rotors. There is also a chance that your brake calipers might be stripped, but you might also need to top off your brake fluid. Bring your car to our shop for a maintenance check, and let us make sure your brakes are working exactly as expected. That way, when you slam on your brakes and need to come to an emergency stop, they will respond appropriately.
Swap the Windshield Wipers
It is not exactly a secret that it rains a lot during the spring in the local area, and you need to check your windshield wipers to make sure they work well. You probably do not want to hear a lot of annoying squeaking, and you don't want to see streaks on your windshield either. If you believe your windshield wipers are not working as well as they should, bring your car to our shop, and let us help you find a new pair. We can help you make sure that you get as much use out of your windshield wipers as possible.
