Spring and Summer Maintenance

Before spring has sprung in Greenville, it’s important to make sure your vehicle is ready to go. A maintenance check at James Ceranti Nissan will assess any damage winter caused and prepare your vehicle for the challenges that spring and summer bring — hotter temperatures, heavy rains, and of course, road trips.


Get the AC Checked

When the temperature goes up outside, you’ll want your vehicle’s AC unit to work properly. Don’t risk an uncomfortable, sweaty drive! Get your vehicle’s AC checked and have the antifreeze/coolant topped off. You will appreciate a blast of cool air when spring, and especially summer, arrives. Even when you’re not using the AC, you want the air circulating in the cabin to be as fresh as possible. Check your cabin’s air filter and replace it if necessary.


Battery Check and Replacement

Severe temperature fluctuations can put extra stress on your car’s battery. Even if your battery shows no signs of failing, the change in season is a good reminder to make sure it has plenty of power to get you through the warmer months. While checking its charge, make sure to take a good look at its wiring and other components and connections. If you see bad connections, damage, or debris, it’s time to bring your vehicle in for a maintenance check by the expert technicians at James Ceranti Nissan. Car batteries have a relatively short lifespan, approximately three to four years, so age might be the indication you need for a replacement this spring.


Top Off Essential Fluids

Your windshield wipers probably worked overtime clearing a path for you to see during fall and winter. Chances are the windshield wiper fluid reservoir is low, and your wipers need to be replaced. The windshield wiper fluid is only one of the important fluids you have to check for spring and summer driving, though. Your vehicle’s transmission fluid, brake fluid, and engine oil need to be checked and replenished.


Tire Maintenance

Your vehicle’s tires provide the only contact with the road, which is why they must always be in good condition. This means free of damage, bulges in the sidewalls, and cracking as well as proper inflation. Your tires should also have a healthy amount of tread. After a demanding fall and winter, your tires may be worse for wear and may need an alignment. Our technicians will assess their condition and advise you on what to do to make sure your tires are providing a safe foundation for your vehicle and your drives.

Invest in a Windshield Sunshade

The hours of sunshine will be on the rise during spring and summer, which means your vehicle’s cabin will take a beating. A windshield sunshade can help block the sun’s rays, helping to prevent your cabin from getting uncomfortably hot as well as warding off damage to your interior components from the sun’s intense UV rays. For a more permanent solution, you could invest in window tinting, but it’s important to check what level of tinting Mississippi legally allows before committing to the change. If you exceed the limit, you could be subject to a ticket and fine.


Exterior and Interior Lights Check

Although you’ll have more hours of daylight for your drives in spring and summer, you shouldn’t overlook how your vehicle’s headlights and interior lights are doing. Driving at night can be dangerous, so you want to make sure all of your vehicle’s exterior lights are burning as brightly as they should. Pay attention to the lenses of your headlights, too, for signs of cloudiness or fogginess. You’ll want to have those cleaned to complement the quality of your vehicle’s headlights.


Update Your Emergency Kit

With winter in the rearview mirror, it’s important that you rid your emergency kit of winter essentials and stock it with warm-weather items, including sunscreen, a reflective emergency blanket, and bottled water. In addition to tools, jumper cables, portable charges, flares, and a flashlight, you will also want to include non-perishable snacks and a first aid kit.
