Spring Cleaning Tip #5: Belts and Battery

Belts and hoses can be a bit more tricky to check. Having them in good
working order will help keep your engine operating at peak performance. We
recommend professional belt inspection 1x/month, and/or before a long road
trip. While you’re in for a belt check, if you can’t remember the last
time your battery was checked, take the time for the evaluation. With the
electronic and technology features in recent model vehicles, the battery
plays a very important role in keeping the vehicle’s components and sensors
functioning well. This is a 1x/year check-up.

On a final note – As we get more sunny days, you might feel the urge to
wash your car in the driveway – Or even put the whole family to work. A
few tips on this – You don’t want to use any cleaners with harsh solvents –
This includes dish soap or glass cleaners. Your best bet is to have some
commercial car wash on hand. (This is available at our dealership, as
well as most home improvement stores.)

If you’d like help with any of these items, please contact us at our
Service Departments. We also have hours on Saturdays and have 30-minute
Quick Lubes available. We will also provide you a complimentary hand-wash
of your vehicle with any Service appointment. -- A real treat (or gift) is
a full vehicle detail, which will make your current vehicle feel like new
again. Let us know how we can help!

Happy Spring and Safe Travels!
