Get Ready for Spring with BMW Service

Spring is known for pleasant and warm weather. As such, it’s easy to overlook the necessity of vehicle maintenance at a BMW service center. However, spring is precisely the time for servicing at BMW of Silver Spring. Winter just ended, so there may be lingering effects from cold weather. Learn which parts require a springtime checkup.

Check Under the Hood

Have a technician perform an evaluation of the parts under the hood. Cold weather from winter can leave parts like the belts and hoses brittle. Technicians can also check the coolant level, which is important as the temperature rises.

Suspension Problems

A technician can inspect your vehicle’s undercarriage. Driving over potholes and road salt at high speeds can be taxing on components like the axles and shocks, not to mention it can impact the tires’ alignment.

Filter Check

Spring is notorious for airborne allergens, which can get in the car the same way they make their way inside your home. This is why vehicles have a cabin air filter. This filter should be replaced every 15,000 miles, or sooner if you drive often.

Tire Pressure Check

High temperatures cause the pressure inside a tire to expand. This is why tire blowouts occur so often in the summer. The weather can be just as hot in spring, hence why it’s important to check the tire pressure every 30 days.

Wiper Blade Check

Inspect the windshield wipers, especially the rubber wiper blades. The cold weather from winter can cause the rubber to crack and come apart. Replace as needed.
