Spring Car Care Tips

Our certified technicians recommend these services to prepare your vehicle for the spring season:

• Wiper Blades: after sitting in the elements for months, with the cold air, snow, and ice, your blades may crack and start to deteriorate.
• Battery: your car battery should be inspected and tested to give you the peace of mind that it isn’t leaking or failing.
• A/C System: with warmer months ahead, ensure your air conditioning system is inspected for optimal performance to keep you comfortable in the Texas heat.
• Tires: your tires should be examined for cracks, bulges, deterioration, and damage. We check your treads for wear and appropriate pressure.
• Fluids: all fluids should be checked and topped off as needed, including transmission, brake, power steering, coolant, and windshield wiper fluids.
• Interior and Exterior: odds are you’ll be driving more during the summer months as you explore New Braunfels’ outdoor amenities, so make sure it is sparkling clean inside and out with a car wash and detailing.

Why is De-Winterizing Your Car for the Spring Important?

During the winter months, your Ford car, truck, SUV, or van experiences temperature and pressure fluctuations and endures the precipitation that comes with the cold temperatures. These can contribute to the wear and deterioration of various vehicle parts. By checking your car’s parts and fluids, you ensure improved safety through reliability, handling, and proper operation. Don’t wait until the maintenance lights on your dashboard start to light up like a call center before you have your vehicle inspected.
