When preparing your vehicle for spring in Beacon, a host of essential service and maintenance tasks should be attended to. Many of these are crucial maintenance tasks after the winter because winter weather often wreaks havoc on specific vehicle systems.
At Healey Chevrolet, we recommend Chevy owners consider tire replacement, wheel alignment, oil change, A/C check, filters, coolant/fluids, brake checks, windshield wiper replacement, and battery checks for spring maintenance to ensure no unexpected breakdowns occur during the warmer months.
Tire Replacement and Wheel Alignment- Because the winter weather substantially increases the number of road ruts and potholes drivers encounter in Kingston, NY, it's important to check your vehicle's wheel alignment, as continuous driving over potholes can throw wheel alignments out of whack.
Improper tire alignment can cause premature wear on the tire tread and difficulty with road handling. That’s why spring is considered an important time for wheel alignments and tire replacements. Our team of tire experts can ensure your car has the right tire for your needs.
Oil Changes, Fluids, and Coolant Replacement- The winter months can be strenuous on an engine in Fishkill. That’s why a spring oil change and fluid top-off are usually recommended. It’s also an important time to prepare for the warmer weather, which means the vehicle should be filled with a high-grade coolant to ensure the engine stays cool in the heat of the summer months.
Air Conditioning Check- When gearing up for the warm weather in Hopewell Junction, getting your Air conditioning system checked and serviced is recommended. This usually involves recharging the system with air conditioning coolant to ensure it runs well all summer. We can replace your cabin filter to make sure you breathe the cleanest air possible.
Brake Check- The winter months can be taxing on the brake system with continuous use of the brakes in slippery weather and slow traffic. That is why at Healey Chevrolet, we recommend Chevy owners check their brakes to see if the brake pads need replacement in the spring.
Windshield Wiper Replacement- the winter months, as well as the spring, are often filled with heavy amounts of precipitation. That often means windshield wiper blades can get worn down and damaged and need replacing.
Getting high-quality windshield wiper blades installed in the spring will ensure Chevy owners don’t find themselves stuck in inclement weather or sudden thunderstorms ill-prepared. Wiper blades that are in poor condition have a significant impact on visibility and should be replaced for safety purposes in the spring.
Battery Check- Car batteries often get drained in winter, especially if the season is particularly cold. A simple battery check to ensure it is holding a charge can help avoid unnecessary breakdowns. If your vehicle needs a replacement, our service department will ensure you get the correct battery for your vehicle and replace it while you wait.
Our Poughkeepsie service professionals are always ready to help you take the best care of your car, truck, SUV, or crossover. If you want to complete any of these maintenance tasks and services on your vehicle, call our service department to make an appointment at a convenient time. Our service professionals will let you know if you will need to drop off your vehicle or if it can be serviced while you wait.
Basic service tasks such as battery and brake checks, tire replacements, oil changes, windshield wiper blade replacements, and air conditioning checks can usually be serviced while you wait. Wheel alignments, brake repairs, and air conditioning servicing may require a drop-off appointment but occasionally can be completed while you wait.
