Lexus Spring Cleaning: Get Your Luxury Ride Road Trip Ready

The winter months can take a toll on your vehicle, making spring the perfect time to give your Lexus some extra TLC. As the weather warms up, a few simple maintenance steps will ensure your ride is running smoothly and looking its best for the adventures ahead. 

Start by giving your Lexus's exterior a thorough washing to remove the grime, salt, and sand that accumulated over the winter. Don't forget to show the same love to the interior by vacuuming and wiping down surfaces. A good detailing inside and out will have your car feeling fresh for spring.

Next, inspect your summer tires thoroughly - they are your only connection to the road. Check that they are inflated to the recommended PSI listed in your owner's manual. Closely examine the tread depth and look for any uneven wear, cracks, bulges, or excessive tread damage. These can be signs that you may need to invest in new tires before installing them for the summer season. Properly inflated tires with good tread are crucial for safety, proper handling, and fuel efficiency.

Another essential for spring driving? Windshield wiper blades that are up to the task of clearing away any sudden showers. If your wipers are leaving streaks or chattering noisily across the glass, it's time for an inexpensive blade replacement.

Under the hood, top off all vital fluids like oil, coolant, brake and power steering fluid to ensure peak operation. Spring is an ideal time for an oil change and general fluid check, preparing your vehicle for the heat and miles ahead.  

Finally, after being dormant all winter, turn on the A/C system to confirm it still delivers steady cold air flow with no concerning noises or odours. If issues are detected, have your climate control system professionally serviced and recharged before summer's scorching temps.

By taking these simple spring car care steps, you'll have your luxurious Lexus in prime condition and ready to embrace the new season. Many are quick DIY tasks, but leave any unfamiliar maintenance to our trained experts. With some basic upkeep now, you can hit the road worry-free and make the most of the warmer months ahead.
