Spring Auto Maintenance Checklist
✓ Brake inspection: During winter, excessive moisture, road salt, and freezing temperatures cause your vehicle’s brakes to rust or wear down faster than usual. Take expert help at Barry Cullen Chevrolet to replace the brake rotors and pads due to wear and to top up the brake fluid levels.
✓ Battery check: Cold weather strains your car battery, leading to weak charges and even breakdowns. Before you hit the road, get your car’s battery checked for signs of corrosion on the terminals (moisture and low temperatures affect this first) and replace it if needed.
✓ Oil changes: An oil change is one of the most crucial services you must get at the end of the season, as stop-and-go winter driving can affect the engine’s functionality and overall vehicle performance. Get checked at our service centre for an oil and filter change, and top up the necessary fluids, including transmission, brake and power steering fluids.
✓ Don’t forget the tires: Like summer tires in snow, winter tires are not designed for warmer summer roads. As soon as the temperature stays above 7°C, swap your existing snow tires for a good set of summer or all-season tires to enjoy a seamless summer drive.
✓ Change air filters: Have your car’s air and cabin filters checked for residue, debris or dirt and cleaned by an expert. Clogged or dirty air filters may affect the performance and efficiency of your Chevrolet’s air conditioning system. Moreover, they may affect the airflow to the engine, leading to bigger problems.
