The transition from winter to spring is the perfect time to get caught up on your automotive maintenance routine. After months of driving on icy roads in freezing temperatures, your car likely requires professional attention to ensure that it remains performing at its best during the spring and upcoming summer. Here at Heritage | MileOne Autogroup, our service centers are ready to help you get your car back into top condition.

Fluid and Filter Checks

First, winter weather can be harsh on your car’s fluids and filters. Low temperatures often cause vehicle fluids to break down or thicken, which can lead to increased engine wear and reduced fuel efficiency. Types of services that we can perform during your spring check include:

• Oil and filter change to remove contaminants
• Coolant level test to prevent overheating
• Replacing your cabin air filter to ensure that you’re breathing clean air
• Windshield wiper fluid top-off

Tire, Brake, and Battery Checks

The fluctuating temperatures that occur during winter often cause your tire pressures to drop, and road salt can lead to corrosion on your undercarriage and battery terminals. Our team of certified technicians will perform a tire inspection to check for uneven tread wear and ensure that your PSI is adjusted to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If necessary, we’ll rotate your tires.

Additionally, we will conduct a brake check during which we’ll inspect the pad thickness and rotors for signs of any damage. Finally, we’ll check your battery to make sure that the cold hasn’t weakened the charging system.
