Seasonal Car Care
Weather changes stress your car in different ways. A few hours of prep each season prevents breakdowns, extends the life of your vehicle, and keeps you safe on the road.
Winter Prep
Cold weather is brutal on batteries, tires, and fluids. Get your car ready before the first freeze.
- • Battery testing and replacement
- • Coolant/antifreeze check
- • Tire condition and pressure
- • Wiper blades and washer fluid
- • Heater and defroster function
Summer Prep
Heat kills batteries and overworks cooling systems. Prepare now to avoid roadside breakdowns.
- • AC system inspection
- • Cooling system flush
- • Belt and hose inspection
- • Tire pressure (heat increases PSI)
- • Battery load test
Spring Checkup
Winter is hard on cars. Spring is the time to undo the damage and refresh everything.
- • Wash undercarriage (salt removal)
- • Alignment check after potholes
- • Brake inspection
- • Replace cabin air filter
- • Wiper blade replacement
Fall Prep
Get ahead of winter by handling these tasks while the weather is still comfortable.
- • Heater core and thermostat check
- • Battery load test
- • Tire tread depth check
- • Headlight and taillight check
- • Emergency kit preparation
