Spring is here and that means it’s time to bust out the sunscreen and the bug spray — and to clean your car. It’s also time to prepare your vehicle with Chrysler service. We’re highlighting the maintenance tasks that we recommend at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview.
Inspect Your Brakes
To stay safe on slick spring roads, it’s important to test your brakes. You want to make sure that they are working as efficiently as possible. Check your brake pads and rotors as well to make sure they aren’t overdue for a replacement.
Check Your Tires
It’s also critical to check your tires before the spring season. You need at least 4/32 of an inch of tread to have sufficient traction on the road. If you haven’t recently, you should have your tires rotated as well.
Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades
Between rainy days and dusty roads, a good set of windshield wipers is crucial in the spring. Wiper blades become worn or break over the winter due to all the snow and ice, so you may be due for a new set. If yours squeak or leave streaks when you use them, it’s time for replacements.
Top Off Your Fluids
The changing seasons are a great reminder to check your fluid levels. This includes your engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. If they are low, it’s time to top them off, or replace them, if your owner’s manual indicates that it’s time.
