Spring Maintenance Tips 

First, youIf you drive a Cadillac, you probably understand that it has a reputation for durability, reliability, and safety.

At Jessup Cadillac, we have a tremendous amount of experience working with countless drivers and vehicles of all types. We can use this experience to help you take care of your vehicle. Learn more about some of the most important spring maintenance tasks below, and reach out to us to schedule an appointment with a member of our team.

Get Your Car Detailed
First, you need to get your car detailed. Taking care of your car means taking care of the interior as well. There is probably a lot of melted snow, food crumbs, and mud from the outside that has caked to the inside of your vehicle. Now is the time to get rid of it. Even though you can probably do a lot of this on your own, it is better to reach out to a professional who can detail your car for you. That way, you know it will look as good as possible.

Get the Battery Tested
You should also get your battery tested. In general, you should expect to get between three and five years of life out of your car battery. If you feel like your car battery is reaching this point, or if you are having issues with the electrical components of your vehicle, this could be a sign that your battery is on its last legs. At Jessup Cadillac, we can test your battery for you and make sure it can still hold a charge. If your battery is having issues, we can help you find a new one.

Rotate the Tires
You also need to rotate your tires. This is something that you should do once per year. If you have a vehicle that is four-wheel-drive, you may not need to rotate your tires as often, but you still need to get your tires checked to make sure they are wearing evenly. If you rotate your tires, you can improve your handling, get more years of use out of your tires, and improve your gas efficiency.

Get Some Fresh Oil
Your vehicle is also probably due for some fresh oil. This is something that you should do once per year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes up first. We would be happy to work with you to pick the right oil for your vehicle. Changing your oil is important because it lubricates the internal components of your engine. This can reduce the friction among its internal parts and prevent your engine from overheating. This can also extend the life of your engine, improve your gas mileage, and help you get more years of use out of your vehicle.

Change Your Air Filters
You should also change your air filters this spring. You have probably noticed that there is a lot of pollen in the air, and you do not want this inside of your car. The best way to prevent pollen from getting in your car is to swap out your cabin air filters. We can take a look at your cabin air filters and let you know if they are clogged. We can clean them or change them for you.
We can do the same thing with your engine air filters as well. If you want your engine to operate efficiently, you need to make sure it has a source of clean air. This means checking your engine air filters to make sure they are still operating effectively.
