Honda Service Tips: Preparing Your Car for Spring

Spring is around the corner, bringing with it sunny days perfect for driving with the windows down. But after a long winter, your Honda vehicle is going to need some TLC before you can start cruising.

Before you get started, consider making an appointment with the Honda service center at Serra Honda of Champaign. Our trained technicians will give your Honda vehicle a spring inspection and take care of some necessary tasks. 

Tire Rotation and Pressure Check 

It’s important to rotate your tires every 7,000 to 10,000 miles, but after a cold winter, it’s absolutely necessary. Regular tire rotation keeps wear even and prevents premature damage, so put this at the top of your checklist. We’ll also make sure your tires are properly inflated and address any leaks or damage. 

Oil Change 

At Serra Honda of Champaign, our standard oil change service includes much more. Our techs will check and top-off any other fluids in your car (transmission, windshield wiper, coolant, etc.), as well as inspect and replace filters.  

Battery Test 

Often, if a car is parked or left in storage during cold winter weather, its battery could lose up to 60 percent of its power. At our Honda service center, we will test, recharge, or replace your car battery depending on its condition. After all, you don’t want to be stranded with a dead battery during your spring excursions. 

Windshield Wiper Replacement 

One of the most overlooked components of a vehicle is the windshield wiper system. When spring showers start falling, you don’t want to be caught with subpar wiper blades. Our team can replace these with the best Honda OEM wiper blades quickly, and installation is free with your purchase. 

Don’t forget to gather your cleaning supplies and refresh your interior with a thorough spring cleaning as well. Once you’re fresh, clean, and ready to roll, visit our Honda service center at Serra Honda of Champaign, IL, and spring forward with confidence!
