Now that spring is here, you might need to give your BMW car a little extra care — with the help of the Fields BMW Northfield BMW service center! Harsh winters can leave your car in need of some maintenance, so it’s important to make sure everything’s in good working order as the seasons change. Here are a few things to do to prepare your car for spring.
Check Your Tires
Winter weather can be especially tough on tires. Check your tire pressure and make sure all the wheels are properly aligned. If you’ve been using winter tires, here’s your reminder to switch them out for regular tires. You should also measure your tire tread. Remember, the tread should be at least 2/32 inches deep, and this is especially important in rainy spring weather. If you think it might be time for some new tires, our BMW tire center can handle that for you.
Turn on the A/C
The temperate spring weather won’t last forever. Hot summer days are on the horizon, and that means climate control will be particularly important. It’s probably been a while since you’ve used the A/C, so it’s a good idea to try it out now and make sure it’s working properly before you find yourself stuck without it on a hot day.
Do Some Spring Cleaning
After braving the sleet, snow, and salt of winter, it’s likely that your once-shiny car might have lost some of its luster. Dust, dirt, and debris can spoil that much sought-after BMW gloss, but more importantly, they can also build up in the car’s inner workings and contribute to part degradation and rust. That’s why a thorough cleaning is to get ready for spring.
