The spring season is here! While we know all about spring cleaning, did you know there are a few extra service tasks your vehicle needs too? The experts at our Toyota service center at Sansone Toyota suggest completing these spring maintenance tasks.

1.      Test Your Battery

Cold winters can strain your battery, leaving you with one that’s unreliable. We can test your battery, as well as look for corrosion, loose cables, or any unusual wear.

2.      Conduct the Quarter Test

Test the traction of your tires with a quick trick. Stick a quarter into the lowest groove with Washington’s head pointed downward. If the tread doesn’t reach his head, your tires are too worn and must be replaced.

3.      Replace Your Windshield Wipers

Windshield wipers can get worn down and brittle over the winter. Our technicians can inspect your wiper blades and replace them if needed.

4.      Run Through the Carwash

It’s a good idea to get all the winter slush and road salt off your car since they can compromise your vehicle’s exterior. Consider a wax too, which can help preserve your car’s exterior from the hot sun.

5.      Check Your Fluid Levels

Adequate fluid levels are important to keep your vehicle running efficiently. Our technicians can check the levels of your vehicle’s fluids to ensure they are at the recommended minimum. Your vehicle fluids include:

• Engine oil
• Transmission fluid
• Brake fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Coolant
• Windshield wiper fluid
