Have you ever thought about spring cleaning for your Cadillac or Corvette? Spring brings renewal and refreshment, and now is the perfect time to give your automobile a maintenance once-over. Although we don’t get freezing weather here in Pinellas Park, Florida, winter can still be rough on your automobile. RB Auto Service can maintain your Cadillac or Corvette before summer hits.
Air Conditioner
You don’t want to sweat through the summer and its heat and humidity without your automobile’s air conditioner running perfectly. Now is the perfect time to have the refrigerant, compressor, and condenser inspected as well as the fans and hoses.
Belts and Hoses
Speaking of hoses, a quick check of all of the belts and hoses in your Cadillac or Corvette will make certain that they are not on the verge of breaking, cracking, or leaking. It’s better to replace the belts or hoses before they succumb to their age and wear and tear.
Brakes
Spring and summer bring plenty of showers and wet roads in Florida. You want to make sure you can always stop your Cadillac or Corvette on a dime when you need to. If it’s been longer than 15,000 miles since your last brake inspection, now is the time to schedule one.
Filters
There are four primary filters in your Cadillac or Corvette. The cabin air filter, the engine air filter, the fuel filter, and the oil filter. The oil filter is automatically changed at every oil change. The engine air filter needs to be changed every 12,000 miles. The other two, every 30,000 miles.
Fluids
Spring is an optimal time to have all of your vehicle’s fluids checked including the transmission oil. It’s probably time for an oil change, so schedule that, too. Spring is a good time to make sure your engine coolant is clean, full, and ready to help keep your engine cool in the hot summer.
Lights
Cleaning and defogging your headlights is a good idea in the spring since, again, our wet weather is on its way. If you need to replace the bulbs in any of the lights, now is the time to do it. If you are having headlight problems, it could be your battery, electrical system, or fuses.
Tires
Your tires are what keep you safe on the road when it’s raining, which it does quite a bit during the spring and summer. Make sure that you have plenty of tread left on each tire, and that the tread is wearing down evenly. If you need new tires, now is the time to get them.
Windshield Wipers
Finally, check your windshield wiper rubber to make sure it isn’t fraying or separating. You don’t want to get stuck in a spring shower with windshield wipers that cannot keep your windshield clear. It’s important to be able to see during heavy rains.
