Top 5 Spring Auto Maintenance Services
1. Tires Swap
When the temperature stays at or above 7 degrees Celsius, it’s recommended by our experts at Terra Nova to swap out your winter tires for all-season or summer tires. Unlike winter tires, all-season and spring tires are engineered to perform efficiently on dry and rainy road surfaces.
2. Alignment
If you don’t know already, icy ruts, snow-covered curbs, and potholes can significantly contribute to wear and tear on your car’s suspension, and jolt your wheel alignment out of place during the winter months. So, before you hit the spring roads, get your car aligned to continue enjoying a seamless drive.
3. Cleaning and Detailing
In winter, your vehicle gets exposed to excessive moisture, winter salt, and debris. This stubborn buildup severely damages your car’s exterior and makes it prone to corrosion and rust. Before you take your vehicle out on spring roads, have it thoroughly cleaned and detailed, as our experts will help you remove stubborn grime with a high-pressure sprayer and hoses.
4. Oil Change
An oil change at the beginning of the spring season ensures your vehicle has clean oil to properly lubricate its components, including the transmission, brake system, and power steering, delivering smooth performance throughout the season.
5. Air Conditioning System Inspection
Refreshing your air conditioning system by replacing air filters is another spring auto service to get right at the start of the season, as it ensures proper airflow and a clean cabin free of dirt and other dust particles.
