Summer Is Coming: Time for Your Car Maintenance

With the arrival of spring, we definitively turn our backs on winter and commit to going out more often and setting off on adventures on the roads of Quebec, Canada and the United States. To make sure you start off on the right foot, Chartrand Ford in Laval, near Montreal, Terrebonne, Boisbriand and Ste-Thérèse, reminds you that spring maintenance of your vehicle is a must-do.

In this blog, the dealer of choice in Laval shares with you in detail what you should check out before you set out on your vacation trail and hit the road. After all, a vehicle that's been through the hardships of winter needs a little bit of love to get you where you want to go during the beautiful season.

What you Need to Know About Your Car Maintenance

The spring inspection on your vehicle usually includes several items, starting with changing the engine oil, brake fluid, oil filter, coolant, air filter, etc. This first level of inspection will ensure that all your fluids have been checked and changed, if necessary. After the winter period, it is time to tune up your vehicle.

In addition, Ford Laval will take the extra time to take a look at your vehicle and point out any repairs that need to be made, if that's the case or if your service history indicates that it's time for more complete vehicle maintenance. This usually occurs after 6,000 km or more. This visual and technical inspection will also allow you to get an expert opinion on your car. This way, you will have peace of mind before leaving the Chartrand Ford garage in Laval.

Maintaining your car will not be limited to a single visual inspection. It will go much further and the technician will take care of changing and checking your tire pressure, windshield washer fluid, wiper wear, electronic systems, front and rear lights, the watertightness of the doors and suitcase as well as the other compartments, etc.

This spring maintenance is highly recommended, especially since your vehicle may have suffered the effects of winter. If your car, SUV or truck is still under the manufacturer's warranty, you will benefit from the many advantages and the replacement of certain parts, if applicable, will be done with genuine Ford parts.

In short, with spring comes the season of major cleaning and the maintenance of your vehicle should not be overlooked. Take the lead, get ready for the summer and don't miss out on this important date in 2020. Your vehicle needs to feel up to the challenge to reach new horizons.
