Spring isn't just a good time for a good spring cleaning. When it comes to recovering from the toll winter driving takes on your car, spring is the ideal time to repair any issues caused from months of cold weather driving. You'll want to get your Mazda serviced and ready for the summer ahead at the Art Hill Mazda service center.

Starting the season with an inspection of your engine accomplishes two things. Your technician can look for any damage that might have happened over the winter and complete some routine tasks like topping up engine fluids, replacing windshield wipers, and checking various filters. If your battery is getting older, the demands of colder temperatures around Gary might have taken enough of a toll that it will struggle with summer heat and powering the air conditioner.

The technician can test your battery's ability to hold a charge. You'll have peace of mind that it's capable of starting up on the hottest days. They'll also look for any fraying wires, torn gaskets, split belts, or bursting hoses that might cause an unexpected cramp in your summer road trip plans around Hammond, IN.

Some drivers prefer a tire specifically designed for summer driving. If the increased grip and stability offered by a summer tire design sound like they would complement your driving plans this summer, your technician can suggest some options in the correct size to fit your model of Mazda. Even if you prefer to keep a general all-season tire on through spring and summer, it's probably time for a rotation to keep them from wearing down unevenly and needing replacement sooner than they would otherwise.

Your brake pads, engine oil, headlights, taillights, and turn signal bulbs could all use a once-over to ensure they made it through winter intact and don't need replacing. We invite you to schedule a service appointment at our dealership near Valparaiso soon.
