After long winters in Louisville and Broomfield, many drivers are itching to get on the road for springtime travels. Before you set off on a new adventure, it’s important to schedule a spring tune-up! A spring tune-up ensures that your car is ready for a new season of travel, and it just takes a small amount of your time. Find out how to tune your car like a pro, and be sure to visit our service center at Fisher Honda to get started!
Winter driving can turn your beautifully glossy vehicle into a dingy mess, and a dirty exterior is one of the signs that your car needs a tune-up. Luckily, cleaning off the road salts and dust is a satisfying process. You can schedule a professional detail for a spotless shine, inside and out, or just run through a car wash to get a clean slate. If you’d prefer to spring clean your car yourself, consider adding baking soda to your wash water to neutralize the salty debris. This can help protect your paint from damage.
Cold winter temperatures can cause your tires to lose air, so it’s a good idea to double-check your tire pressure. Go through all four tires, as well as your spare if you have one, and make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Check your owner’s manual if you need help finding the right PSI. While you’re at it, look for any puncture marks or other surface damage. If you notice anything strange, be sure to schedule an appointment with Fisher Honda. We can tell you if your tires need any repairs or even replacement.
Your windshield wiper blades go through quite a lot during the winter months, and springtime is usually a good time to replace them. Check the rubber blades for nicks and watch for other signs of damage, like wipers that streak or squeak on the windshield. Check your windshield wiper fluid levels as well, and if you use any windshield treatments, reapply them at the start of the season.
Another sign that your car needs a tune-up is poor battery performance. Many car batteries fail around the wintertime, so you can ask the service center for a battery check. This will tell you how well your battery holds onto its charge. If it’s weak or your battery is old, consider replacing it before the issues get worse! No one wants to get stranded in Longmont with an easily preventable problem.
Finally, no spring tune-up is complete without an oil change! An oil change gives your engine the TLC that it needs, so you get the power and efficiency that you want on the Boulder roads. Your oil change at Fisher Honda will include an oil and filter change to keep everything clean. If you do your oil change work yourself, don’t forget to pick up some OEM oil filters at the parts center.
We’ve gone over the basics of how to tune your car, and our team is happy to help bring out the best in your vehicle. So whether you need advice on how to spring clean your car or you’re in need of a tire rotation, just reach out to us for assistance. Our service center is ready when you are, so schedule your service or contact us today.
