Winter weather conditions are harsh. They can cause a lot of problems for your vehicle. Ice, snow, and road salt cause damage. Freezing temperatures require your engine to work extra hard. Which is why spring is the perfect time to take care of certain service tasks. The technicians at Alderman's Toyota can attend to these services and make sure your Toyota is ready to go for the warmer months ahead. Check out these recommended spring service tasks you will want to take care of in the coming weeks in Rutland.
Oil and Filter Change
Your car's oil serves to lubricate and cool your engine. If you fail to change it, the oil can become thick and dirty. Your engine could start to perform poorly or even overheat if you skip oil changes, which could lead to expensive repairs.
Fluid Replacement
Spring is the perfect time to inspect the fluids in your vehicle. Transmission, brake, power steering, coolant, and windshield washer fluid levels should all get checked. This is a quick and simple step that can improve your car's performance and help keep you safe. Let us top off and flush fluids as necessary to get you ready for spring road trips.
Tire Maintenance
Your tires should be regularly rotated and balanced. You'll also want us to check your tread for wear. Winter may have done more damage than you expected.
Battery Inspection
Winter is also rough on batteries. Cold temperatures cause the battery to work harder. We can check your battery's strength, as well as check its mounting and connections.
Belts and Hoses Check
Winter temperatures can break down the rubber in your engine's belts and hoses. A thorough inspection can turn up and damage so that we can replace worn parts.
