Spring Tune-Up

Winter takes a toll on your vehicle — and spring is the perfect time to undo the damage and prepare for the miles ahead. From pothole-battered roads to corrosive road salt, the colder months can silently wear down your tires, brakes, fluids, and more. At Spitzer Nissan, our certified technicians provide comprehensive spring maintenance services designed to keep you safe, extend the life of your vehicle, and save you money in the long run.

We make the process easy and transparent with video walkarounds that show you exactly what our technicians find during your inspection — no surprises, just trust. Whether you’re driving a new model or a well-loved used vehicle, spring is the right time to show it some love, and Spitzer Nissan is the right place to do it.

Essential Spring Auto Maintenance Tips

• Oil & Filter Change: Cold winter temperatures can degrade engine oil more quickly. A fresh oil and filter change heading into spring protects your engine and improves fuel efficiency. Ask about our oil change service coupons to save on your next visit.
• Brake Inspection: Road salt and winter grime accelerate brake rotor and pad corrosion. If you notice any squealing, grinding, or pulling when you stop, don’t wait — have your brakes inspected by a Spitzer-certified technician right away.
• Wheel Alignment Check: Potholes and frost heaves can knock your alignment out of spec, causing uneven tire wear and pulling. A proper tire alignment improves handling and saves you money on tires over time.
• Tire Inspection & Rotation: Winter driving causes uneven tire wear. Have your tires inspected for tread depth, proper inflation, and damage caused by potholes or ice. Rotating your tires evenly distributes wear and extends their lifespan.
• Tire Pressure & Alignment: Fluctuating temperatures cause tire pressure to drop or rise, and winter potholes often knock your wheels out of alignment.
• Battery Test: Cold weather is notoriously hard on car batteries. Spring is the ideal time to test your battery’s charge and health before rising temperatures put additional strain on your electrical system.
• Fluid Level Check: Coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, and transmission fluid should all be inspected and topped off or flushed as needed to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly through spring and summer.
• Air Filter Replacement: A clogged cabin or engine air filter reduces performance and air quality. After a winter of driving, replacing filters is a simple, affordable step with noticeable results. Plus, pollen season is coming; replacing your filter now ensures the air inside your cabin stays clean and allergen-free.
• Exterior Wash & Undercarriage Cleaning: Road salt and winter chemicals cling to your vehicle’s undercarriage and can cause rust and corrosion. A thorough wash and protective treatment helps preserve your vehicle’s value.
• Belts & Hoses Inspection: Cold temperatures cause rubber components to crack and stiffen. Have your belts and hoses inspected for wear, cracking, or leaks before a minor issue becomes a major breakdown.
• Wiper Blade Replacement: Winter wiper blades take a beating from ice, snow, and freezing temperatures. Swap them out for fresh all-season blades before spring showers arrive.
