Spring is finally here in Newburgh, and it's time to make sure your vehicle's ready to take on the warmer roads ahead. After harsh winter conditions, your car or truck needs some extra care to ensure it runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently in the months to come. The service team at Sunshine Ford is here to help with your spring vehicle maintenance needs.
Why is Post-Winter Vehicle Service Important?
The cold temperatures, snow, ice, salt, and potholes that come with winter in the Northeast can really take a toll on your vehicle. That's why it's essential to get your Ford the care it needs as the season's transition. Proper seasonal maintenance will help your vehicle recover from winter wear so you can rely on it throughout the spring and summer.
Don't Wait on Your Spring Tire Changeover!
One of the most important parts of a spring vehicle service visit is switching out your winter tires for a set that's made for warmer conditions. Winter tires are specially designed to handle cold temperatures and slick, snowy road conditions - which means they don't perform as well in the warmer and drier spring and summer weather. It's best to swap them out for summer or all-season tires once temperatures are consistently above 45 degrees. The tire pros at Sunshine Ford in Newburgh will make sure your spring tires are properly installed and inflated for a smooth, safe ride.
Invest in a Spring Wheel Alignment
Once your spring tires are installed, it's also smart to have a wheel alignment done. A proper alignment service ensures your wheels are angled correctly so they make even contact with the road. Winter hazards like potholes can knock your wheels out of alignment, which will cause your tires to wear down unevenly and more quickly. Getting an alignment at the start of spring will help extend your tire life and improve fuel efficiency, handling, and ride comfort. For our Wappingers Falls area customers, a spring alignment is a worthwhile investment in your vehicle's health and your driving safety.
Oil Changes are Essential Seasonal Maintenance
In addition to tire care, an oil and filter change is another key part of spring vehicle service. The oil in your engine works hard to lubricate, cool, and clean the engine parts to keep them running smoothly. That oil breaks down over time and gets dirty, which decreases its effectiveness. You should get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or with every change of the season - whichever comes first.
Spring is the perfect time to change your oil so your engine is protected and performing efficiently as temperatures rise. At Sunshine Ford, we use only high-quality oil and oil filters to keep your Ford's engine running like new. Plus, our experienced technicians will inspect other fluids and parts to make sure everything is in good working order after the winter months.
