As you finalize fun plans for warm weather, plan for a spring-tune up to make sure your Ford is ready to hit the road. A service appointment will give your vehicle the care it deserves, inspecting its engine, tires, battery, and other essential parts that keep you safe when you travel. Explore what spring maintenance will look like for you at our service center at All Star Ford Prairieville.
Key Points
- As temperatures climb, a little proactive maintenance goes a long way toward keeping your Chevy dependable, safe, and comfortable all season long.
- Checking your fluids, tires, brakes, and key systems now helps you catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs down the road.
- Whether you’re commuting daily or planning a summer road trip, staying on top of routine service means your Chevy is always ready for whatever the season brings.
Oil Change
You won’t be able to go anywhere if your engine doesn’t start or overheats during your commute. An oil change adds clean oil to your engine, lubricating its parts to make sure it’s performing properly. Now your vehicle is ready to run during the hot weather, and it’s more fuel-efficient for your road trip. If you’ve traveled at least 5,000 miles since the fall or winter, then it’s time for your next oil change.
Tire Rotation
Another spring service to consider is a tire rotation, which makes sure all four of your tires have even tread wear, so they last as long as possible. The transition from winter to spring can also cause your tire pressure to fluctuate. During your appointment for an oil change, our expert technicians at our Ford service center can inflate your tires. Having your tires inspected and rotated will allow you to maintain traction and better control your vehicle as you take off down the highway.
Wiper Blades
You need your windshield to be visible as you drive through a spring rainstorm. Winter can cause wear and tear on your wiper blades, making them streak water and debris across your windshield, so it may be time to replace them.
Battery Test
Summer heat is actually harder on car batteries than cold weather, accelerating the internal breakdown that leads to sudden failure. If your Ford’s battery is three or more years old, have it load-tested at our dealership. This spring service only takes a few minutes. Catching a weakening battery early keeps you from getting stranded on a sweltering afternoon and tells you exactly when it’s time for a replacement.
A/C System
Summer in Louisiana can clock at 90 degrees or higher, so a working A/C is essential. You may not have been using your A/C often during the winter, so have our technicians check the refrigeration levels during your next visit. We can also check and address leaks to ensure cool, and not hot, air is blowing through those vents for your road trip.
