Road Trip + These Games = One Happy Ride! | Granville, NY

Happy March! Can you believe that spring is finally here?! We sure can and we’re ready to celebrate the beginning of a new season full of warmer temperatures. But as you know, winter can cause issues for our vehicles and it’s important to get the green light from your service technicians to ensure that your vehicle is in proper working condition and you can explore freely this spring and summer. Check out a few of our tips to check for and be sure to schedule your service appointment with our team online today. And don’t forget to snag a coupon to save a little extra cash when you stop in to see us. Now, let’s talk about those spring service details! Wash Your Ride As temperatures are warming up, it’s important to visit the car wash and treat your vehicle to a little TLC. Make sure to wash the undercarriage of your vehicle to get rid of any winter buildup and debris. It’s also a great idea to have the interior of your vehicle detailed to ensure a fresh, clean start to spring. Check Your Battery Wintertime is known for making batteries weak and it’s important to have your battery tested to ensure its health. Also, if your battery is older than four years old, it’s a good rule of thumb to invest in a new one. Fill Up The Fluids During the winter, your vehicle’s fluids tend to drain easily and quickly. And with spring around the corner, you should be stopping in to have your fluids topped off and be sure you have plenty of windshield washer fluid too. Inspect & Align Your Tires Winter driving can be brutal on your tires and it’s important to ensure that there are no leaks, bulges, and lack of tread on your tires. Stop in and allow our team to inspect your tires, fill up to proper PSI levels, rotate and align them. Get Under The Hood While we’re at it, pop open the hood (when cold) and give everything underneath a good look over. Inspect hoses, belts, caps, air filters, and make sure they are not cracked or damaged. If they are, be sure to schedule an appointment and have them replaced as soon as possible. Also, make sure your air filters are replaced so your air conditioning is ready when warm weather is officially here.
