During winter - many people outfit their vehicles with different wiper blades, oil, and tires to combat the weather. But now that winter is finally over, those things are no longer needed. So, why not schedule a service appointment and let our certified mechanics prepare your vehicle for the spring?
How to Prepare Your Car for Spring
Knowing what parts work best for what season will help ensure your vehicle can handle any weather. The following are things Ankeny and West Des Moines residents can do to prepare for the spring season.
Replace Your Oil
In winter, it's best to replace your standard oil with a thicker one - that way, your car will function better in the cold. But now that the cold has gone, that oil won't function the same. By letting our technicians replace your oil, they'll choose the right one for the season, and you won't have to change it again for another 10,000 to 15,000 miles.
Check Your Brakes
The freezing temperatures of winter can lead to your brakes wearing down. Now that winter is over - it's a good idea to see if your brakes are functioning properly or need to be replaced.
Replace Your Tires
Winters can be brutal and heavy snow can lead many to replace their tires with snow versions for better tractions. Though, with spring upon us, those tires that provide traction. By replacing your winter tires with all-weather ones, your vehicle will have better traction on the highway and perform better in the rain.
