What are the signs your car needs a tune-up? Tuning up and preparing your car for spring can save you a lot of headache and heartache in the Lincoln area. Spring auto maintenance will help you enjoy your long summer drives and vacations without having to worry about getting stranded on the beach with no way to get home. 

Whether you’re looking to catch some rays on the beach or you’re going to an outdoor ball game, you’ll be glad you took the time to prepare your new or used vehicle for spring. Read our tips for spring cleaning below.

1. Visit a Car Wash

After the winter months, it’s important to take your vehicle for regular maintenance. Freezing temperatures can cause damage to your paint job, so make sure to take your vehicle in for a car wash. If you take your vehicle for a car wash, spring for the premium car wash to avoid missing any nooks or crannies. If you wash the car yourself, make sure to use baking soda in case your car has a strong salt build-up. 

2. Check Your Tires

Driving your car around Seward can be a good time as long as you’re paying attention to your tires. You can also save on gas by making sure your tires are filled to the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure. It’s important to check out the tire pressure because the winter cold can do a lot of damage to your tires, so spring is the perfect time to check your tires. You’ll also want to make sure that you rotate your tires regularly. 

3. Replace Wiper Blades and Fluids

If your wipers are streaking due to snow damage, it may be a warning sign to replace them. Wiper blades are inexpensive and simple to replace, so its important to visit our service center. Schedule an appointment with us at Sid Dillon Chevrolet Crete, where we can also top off your windshield wiper fluids and address any other windshield damage. 

4. Check Your Battery

You’ll want to be sure to evaluate your car’s electrical system at the end of winter. Visit our dealership near Milford to prevent you from being stranded with a dead battery. 

5. Change Your Oil

Regular oil changes can make all the difference, so it’s important to keep an eye out for warning lights on your vehicle. Some car shops offer fluid top-offs, battery checks, and more, so make sure to check out our service specials to help with savings.
