Warmer weather and more sunshine can only mean one thing! Spring is on its way! Now is the time to get your vehicle ready for the upcoming season. Here are some service checks we recommend making sure your vehicle is in top condition.

Cabin Air Filter

This filter for your vehicle is very important and often ignored, but certainly shouldn’t be as we transition from Winter to Spring. This filter is inside the dash of the vehicle and filters the air that comes from outside to the inside of the vehicle. The cabin air filter should be checked during every oil change, as a standard and should be replaced every 10,000 – 15,000 miles. So, as the seasons change, be sure to have your cabin air filter checked to keep the air you breathe inside your vehicle safe.

Engine Air Filter

Another important check for you to consider as we approach Spring is for your air filter. The air filter allows your car to breathe. The filter prevents any insects, dust, particles, and other debris from getting to the car’s engine. Also, this also ensures that there is a good mix of air and fuel to keep up vehicle performance. Therefore, this is important to keep clean so that your vehicle can continue running in top condition.

A/C System

Since we have been so used to the cold weather, our A/C has likely not been used in months. Be sure to have your A/C system checked when the warm weather arrives! You’re A/C may need a recharge to help keep you cool this Spring.

Oil Change

Regular oil changes are essential to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. Over time, oil can break down and lose its ability to properly lubricate your engine, leading to increased wear and tear. For most vehicles, it’s recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, though this can vary depending on your driving habits and vehicle type. Our Service Center provides quick and reliable oil change services to keep your engine in peak condition.

Fuel System

Last but not least, is a fuel system service. This is done to clean out the injectors and give you better fuel mileage. This type of service check usually includes the fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel injectors, although it could vary.
