If you're like the team here at Capitaland Motors in Glenville, NY, you're excited about the arrival of warmer weather. Now is the time when many of our Schenectady neighbors start thinking about getting outside. To prepare for warm weather fun, be sure your vehicle is up to date for spring maintenance. Check your owner's manual for specific service recommendations for your vehicle, and in the meantime consider these friendly spring service reminders.
Test Your Battery
Cold temperatures near Colonie pull power from a vehicle battery. That's why spring is the ideal time to have your car battery tested. A quick and simple diagnostic test will let our mechanics know whether it's time for a battery replacement. If it is, we can recommend a new one and install it for you as well.
Change the Oil and Filter
Regular oil and filter changes are essential to the smooth operation of your vehicle's engine. Oil wears down and becomes dirty over time. When this happens, it can't properly lubricate the engine's moving parts, adding unnecessary wear and tear. This can lead to poor performance or even to an expensive breakdown.
Replace Wiper Blades
Your wipers work hard clearing away winter snow and ice, so it makes sense to check their condition as spring nears. You'll want to replace them if they're well-worn and fill up your windshield washer tank to ensure proper visibility.
Check Tire Condition
We always recommend that Albany drivers keep a close eye on the condition of their tires, particularly after the harsh conditions of winter. Check your pressure and inspect the tread for balding or excess wear. If they're in bad shape, let us install a new set to keep you safer this spring and summer.
