Your Acura is a precision machine built to give you a great driving experience year-round. You can help it do that best by getting some Acura seasonal maintenance a few times a year.
Acura Seasonal Maintenance
Spring
Spring has sprung! Now’s the time to clean the inside of the car to get rid of any mud and gunk dragged in from the winter. If you drove out of state for the holidays, you might also have road salt and chemicals in there. Now’s also the time to bring your Acura to your dealer and have us check a few things.
We’ll make sure your wipers aren’t in bad shape after the winter, ensure your hoses and belts aren’t cracked, and replace the air filters so you (and your engine) are ready for that spring pollen. Now’s also the time to have winter tires taken off, if you chose to put them on. That’s not always necessary here in El Paso, but if you travel a lot to places with more brutal winter weather, it can make sense.
Summer
In summer, refill your windshield washer fluid with the stuff that’s specially made to get rid of bugs. You should also take a look at your tire pressure regularly as things heat up. Bring your vehicle in to us, and we’ll change out the oil (you’ll need fresh oil to deal with the heat), align the vehicle if you’ve had pothole issues in the spring, and take a good look at your brakes. They also need to be in good shape for the heat.
Fall
Fall is a great time to get a jumpstart on winter by making sure your battery and lights are in great condition. You should also have your suspension looked at as well as the tread of your tires. Both of these have a lot to do with how much control you have. You also want to be sure your heating system is working so you’ll be comfortable in the winter.
Winter
Make sure your coolant is full and you’re using the right fluids across the board for your Acura and for the winter weather. We don’t often have whole days below 45 degrees even in January, so there’s likely not a need to put on winter tires. However, if you frequently drive north through the winter, it’s worth asking us about your options. Now is also a good time to replace the windshield wipers (which have probably taken a beating through our summer rains) and the fluid. You won’t need the anti-bug stuff now, but some all-weather fluid will perform better when the temperatures do drop.
