The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and the weather is warming up, which means it’s time for spring maintenance. Perform these easy steps at home, then come in and visit our Shea Chevrolet service team for a complete inspection to get ready for the summer months ahead.
Replace Fluids
Spring is a great time to make sure your fluids are all clean and at the correct levels. Brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and engine oil should be checked and replaced if necessary. Our team can also replace your windshield wiper fluid and take a look at your windshield wiper blades to ensure they can handle spring showers.
Change Out Filters
Your car’s filters don’t just keep your cabin cleaner and more breathable—dirty engine air filters can also reduce fuel economy. The engine air filter protects your engine from contaminants, and you should replace it around every 30,000-45,000 miles. Plus, a new cabin air filter will help prevent allergens from entering the cabin, which is important in the pollen season.
Check Your Tires
If you drive with snow tires during the winter, this is the time to change to your summer tires. Drivers who use all-season tires should check on them as well. Warmer weather can increase tire pressure, and overinflated tires are prone to blowouts. Test the pressure, preferably in the morning, and compare it against the recommended range in your owner’s manual.
