Spring Prepping for Your Lexus
March 27 2023,
With the end of the winter season, spring marks the beginning of new growth and fresh beginnings. But as the days get longer and the temperature warms up, it’s essential to prep your car for the seasonal changes. The first day of spring has officially passed, and now it’s time to get your Lexus ready for the upcoming months. Here are a few tips to get your vehicle prepped and ready for spring.
Check Your Tires
As the roads become clearer, it’s crucial to check your summer tire pressure and tire treads before switching to them. For optimal safety, be sure to check your tire pressure every month and make sure they are properly inflated. Additionally, don’t forget to inspect the condition of your tires, looking for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything abnormal with your tires, it’s important to get them checked out by a professional as soon as possible. Proper tire maintenance helps improve gas mileage and performance, and it ensures that they last longer.
Inspect Wiper Blades and Fluid
The winter season takes a toll on your wiper blades and fluid. Salt, ice, and snow can cause wear and tear, resulting in reduced visibility. Make sure to inspect your blades for any cracks or breaks and replace them if needed. Also, make sure your wiper fluid is filled so you have a clear view of the road while spring showers hit.
Change Oil and Filters
Spring is an excellent time to change the oil and filters of your Lexus. This step not only helps improve engine performance but also prolongs the life of your engine. Make sure to go through your car’s manual and see if your vehicle needs an oil change, and bring it to us if needed.
Clean the Interior and Exterior
Winter weather can cause a build-up of salt, dirt, and grime on your car’s exterior, and your car’s interior may have taken on a musty smell. Take some time to deep clean your car. Focus on the exterior and wax it to protect it from spring storms. When it comes to the interior, wipe down the seats, mats, and dashboard, vacuum, and consider using an air freshener.
Have a Comprehensive Checkup
Finally, take your car for a comprehensive checkup to make sure everything is in safe, working condition. One of our mechanics can examine your battery, brakes, suspension, steering, and other essential components to ensure everything is functioning correctly for spring weather.
Spring is a beautiful season, but it’s temporary, and before we know it, summer will be here. Therefore, it’s essential to take the time to prepare your Lexus now so you don’t have to worry about it later. With these tips, you can keep your car safe, clean, and functional throughout the spring season, ready to take on any road trips or adventures. Make sure to stay safe and enjoy the spring weather. Happy driving!
