Spring is coming! That means that you may be hitting the road more often. Therefore, you want to ensure that your Nissan is ready for those road trip miles. At HGreg Nissan Buena Park, we have put together these helpful car maintenance tips that should help you get your car ready for spring. If you need any assistance with your vehicle, then be sure to visit our service center located in the Buena Park, Norwalk, Fullerton, Cerritos, and Anaheim, CA region.
The temperature will be going up in the spring. Therefore, you will want to inspect the A/C system. First, you will want to make sure that you are getting cool air from each vent. Also, listen for any strange sounds coming from the A/C system and be on the lookout for any odd odors. Finally, check for any moisture coming from the vents. Moisture is a sign of A/C trouble that should be addressed right away.
Spring is a good time to give your car a good wash and detailing. This is not just intended to make your car look good. A complete cleaning of your car can remove debris and contaminants that could potentially affect your vehicle’s driving performance. Also, you will want to make sure that no build-up of dirt or grime obstructs the view out of your vehicle’s windows.
You will also want to check out each one of your vehicle’s tires. First, make sure that each tire has enough tread on it. There should be at least 2/32 inches of tread on each tire. Also, check for any cracks or damage on the tire sidewalls. Finally, be sure to check the vehicle’s pressure levels. If you haven’t done so in the past six months, get a tire rotation service.
You will want to make sure that you have proper visibility from your window. Check each of the vehicle’s wiper blades for any sign of excessive wear. If your wipers are bent or have peeing blades, then they should be replaced right away. Our service center offers fast and affordable wiper blade replacement services.
Finally, it is a good idea to check your vehicle’s battery to ensure that it is still providing a proper charge. Check for signs of a weak battery by looking at the brightness of your vehicle’s lights. Dim lights are a sign of a weak battery. Also, check for any signs of corrosion on the battery casing or the battery connectors.
