Whether you drive a new VW automobile, one of our used Volkswagen cars, or a vehicle made by another automaker, there are some things you should do to get your automobile ready for the upcoming spring season. Some things are easy to do yourself while other tasks are best left in the hands of our factory-trained automotive technicians.
One of the most important chores you should get done to welcome spring is clean the inside and outside of your vehicle. The salt and brine that are often used to treat snow- and ice-covered roads during winter tend to build up on the undercarriages of cars. This is a bad thing because these substances can facilitate the spread of rust and corrosion.
Salt can also cause cloth fibers to break down, which can lead to rips and tears in your upholstery and carpeting down the line. To protect your car on the inside and outside, make sure you thoroughly clean your vehicle before spring arrives.
While it’s easy enough for you to clean your car, you may want to make an appointment with our Baltimore, MD Volkswagen dealership so our technicians can take care of everything else that’s necessary to get your vehicle ready for spring. When you bring your automobile into Heritage Volkswagen Catonsville, we’ll top off your fluid levels, inspect your windshield wipers, and make sure your car is in alignment. We’ll examine your tires as well to make sure they have the right amount of air pressure and enough tread to keep you safe on the road.
If you’ve gotten behind on your car’s routine maintenance, the start of spring is a great time to get back on track. If it’s been a while since you brought your car in for service, consider having your oil and oil filter changed and your tires rotated when spring arrives.
