Spring Into Action: Why Getting Your Vehicle Ready for Spring Matters

As the chill of winter begins to fade and the promise of springtime warmth emerges, it's essential to ensure your vehicle is ready for the change in seasons. At Dixon's Automotive Repair, we understand the importance of springtime vehicle maintenance and why it matters for your safety and the longevity of your car.

Tire Check & Rotation:

After months of navigating through snow and ice, your tires may be showing signs of wear and tear. Our expert technicians will perform a thorough tire inspection to assess tread depth, look for signs of damage, and check tire pressure. We'll also recommend tire rotations to promote even wear and extend the lifespan of your tires, ensuring optimal traction on wet spring roads.

Fluid Inspection & Top Off:

Spring brings warmer temperatures and longer drives, making it essential to ensure your vehicle's fluids are topped off and ready for action. Our comprehensive fluid inspection includes checking levels of coolant, oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. We'll top off any fluids that are low and recommend fluid flushes or replacements as needed to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Brake Maintenance: 

With the potential for wet road conditions and increased traffic during the spring season, reliable brakes are essential for safe driving. Our skilled technicians will inspect your brake system, including pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid, to ensure optimal performance and responsiveness when you need it most.

Battery Health Check:

Cold winter temperatures can take a toll on your vehicle's battery, leading to decreased performance or potential failure. Our battery health check includes testing the battery's charge and voltage levels, inspecting terminals for corrosion, and ensuring secure connections. We'll also check the alternator and starter to ensure they're functioning correctly, ensuring your vehicle starts reliably, even on chilly spring mornings.

Cabin Air Filter & Engine Air Filter Check:

Spring brings pollen and allergens, making it essential to ensure your cabin air filter and engine air filter are clean and functioning correctly. Our technicians will inspect these filters and replace them as needed to improve air quality inside your vehicle and maintain optimal engine performance.

A/C & HVAC System Check:

With warmer temperatures on the horizon, now is the perfect time to ensure your vehicle's air conditioning and heating systems are in working order. Our HVAC system check includes inspecting components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and blower motor. We'll also check refrigerant levels and perform any necessary repairs or recharges to ensure your comfort on the road.
