What Maintenance Services Should I Schedule for My Car?

Throughout the winter weather, especially in the Greenfield, New Castle, and Indianapolis area, your vehicle may have days endured snow, road salt, sleet, and cold weather. While it may seem like days went by quickly, these factors may have added wear and tear to your vehicle.

Jumping straight into the spring season without any preparation may cause more harm to your beloved vehicle than good. Here are five routine spring car maintenance tips for your Chevy, Buick or GMC:

1. Oil and Oil Filter Change - Regularly scheduled oil changes are one of the most essential services you can receive for your car. After every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, you should be replacing your oil. 3,000-mile increments for those who drive more frequently and with an older vehicle.
2. Battery Inspection - To warm up your vehicle during the cold weather, your battery generated more power. The sudden change in weather may corrosion may build up, and fluid levels to decrease. A quick battery inspection and possibly replacement will helo avoid inconvenient breakdowns. 
3. Check Tire Pressure and Tread - It is common for your tire pressure and tread depth to fluctuate, more likely decrease, during the cold months. Should you need to replace your winter tires with new tires, or require tire service, we offer wheel alignment, tire balance, and much more. 
4. Wiper Blade Replacement and Refill Wiper Fluid - Your wiper blades have done a lot of work clearing snow and ice off your windshield. During the spring your vehicle will need wiper blades just as effective for rain and pollen. We recommend purchasing genuine OEM wiper blades to match your vehicle's fit. 
5. Polish Headlights and Replace Light Bulbs - When you hit the road with a polished or new set of headlights, you will be able to be more attentive during late-night hours.
