April 24, 2023 · 2 min read

It's April, and signs of spring are popping up around Baltimore. If you're anything like the Fitzgerald Chevrolet of Frederick team, you're ready to head out on the open road for travel, gatherings, and events. We want to remind our customers that attending to your spring automotive maintenance needs will allow you to take on your adventures with peace of mind. After a long winter, you'll want to consider these April car care tips to ensure your vehicle is ready for spring.

Check Tire Pressure and Tread

Ensuring your tires are in good shape is essential to staying safe as you drive around Hagerstown. You will want to check your tire pressure and tread depth this time of year. Driving on over-inflated or bald tires around Thurmont is a true safety hazard.

Replace Wiper Blades

After cold weather exposure and a season of use, it makes sense to replace your wiper blades. Worn wipers smudge and smear your windshield, which lessens visibility. Replacing your wiper blades is a simple and quick service that can make a big difference.

Test the Battery

Another service that takes very little time is battery testing. This diagnostic check lets us know if your battery is low on power. Stay safe and add battery testing to your spring service to-do list.

Change the Oil and Filter

Fresh oil and a clean filter are essential to smooth engine performance. Skipping this task could result in a loud and sluggish engine or even a breakdown.

Schedule Chevrolet Service

Now's the perfect time to schedule spring service for your vehicle. Check your owner's manual for model-specific service recommendations, then make your appointment online. Taking care of these maintenance items now will allow you to enjoy a warm weather season of worry-free fun around Gaithersburg. Check out our current service specials to help make these maintenance items more affordable.
