Spring Cleaning: Tips for Refreshing Your Vehicle After Winter

Spring Cleaning


As the winter months fade away and spring starts to arrive, you want to take the necessary steps for preparing your vehicle for the road ahead. Here at Feldman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we can help you with these tips for refreshing your vehicle after winter.

You can use these tips to have your ride ready for the roads near Clarkston, Lake Orion, Clio, and Lapeer, MI, and head out on new adventures in the new beginning that spring provides.


Inspect Your Vehicle

The period between the winter and spring months can be a great time to have your vehicle inspected at our service center or give it a self-inspection to make sure everything is still where it needs to be. This is your opportunity to check on the essentials of your vehicle and know that everything is prepared properly and ready to go for your future travels.

Some of the steps you can take include checking fluids, including the oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and more. You should check that your tires are properly inflated and that tread appears even and not worn to the point of needing a tire rotation or new tires altogether.

Cleaning the Exterior

In addition to the mechanical aspect of your vehicle, there are additional steps you can take for your vehicle to ensure that you have full capabilities. Over the winter months, your headlights and windshield wipers may be used more frequently due to extended darkness or weather conditions. This can provide the opportunity to make sure these items are working as they should.

You can check to make sure your headlights are clean and provide clarity for the road ahead. Have the windshield wipers cleaned as well to remove any chemicals that can be spread across your windshield and create issues with visibility.

You can also have your vehicle cleaned from top to bottom with a detailed wash and wax. This will give your ride the shiny and new appearance that you love after being out in the elements for the winter months.

Climate Control Settings and Performance

Over the winter, you will also tend to use the heating system more frequently when taking your vehicle on the road. During the inspection process, you can get the components of your heating and air conditioning system checked to make sure everything functions properly for when you need cooling for the hotter days to come.

This can also be a great time to have air and cabin filters checked and potentially replaced if needed.
