Good idea — get your vehicle inspected after a harsh winter.
Recommended quick checklist:
-Oil Change & Filter Replacement: Crucial for replacing oil thickened or contaminated by winter, protecting the engine.
-Brake Inspection & Service: Check for corrosion on pads and rotors caused by road salt and ice.
-Wheel Alignment & Tire Services: Alignments rectify damage from winter potholes, while tire rotation/balancing handles the transition from winter to all-season tires.
-Battery Maintenance & Test: Cold weather drains battery power; testing ensures it can handle rising temperatures.
-Air Conditioning (A/C) Service: Inspect systems to ensure proper cooling for warmer months.
-Fluid Top-Off & Replacement: Check, flush, and fill vital fluids like coolant, brake fluid, and engine oil.
-Suspension Inspection: Check for damage to shocks, struts, and springs due to rough winter roads.
-Wiper Blade & Windshield Inspection: Replace worn wipers to handle spring rain.
