Spring Maintenance Tips For Trucks
Spring Maintenance Tips For Trucks
Posted on November 28, 2023
With the robins' return and the thawing of winter's embrace, your trusted truck requires a springtime spruce-up to keep it running as smoothly as the clear streams of Alberta. Lethbridge Truck Town is here to ensure your pickup is prepared for the warmer months with essential maintenance tips. Let's gear up and dive into the maintenance work.
Change Your Tires
As we transition from the icy grip of winter to the bloom of spring, it's critical to swap out those winter tires. Winter treads are designed for the frigid, their grooves clinging to icy roads. Come spring, these tires can underperform, compromising your truck's handling and efficiency. If you haven't made the switch, Lethbridge Truck Town's team is on standby to equip your ride with the proper tires for the season.
Check Your Alignment
Potholes and rough terrain are winter legacies that can misalign your truck, leading to uneven wear on your new tires and a less-than-smooth drive. A check and adjustment at our service centre can ensure your truck's suspension is road-ready and raring to go.
Check Your Brakes
The demanding conditions of winter driving can be harsh on your brakes. Now's the time to have our technicians inspect your brake pads and rotors, ensuring your truck stops as reliably as it goes. Don't let worn brakes compromise your safety or your spring journeys.
Check Fluids and Oil
A robust truck is a well-lubricated machine. Post-winter, it's vital to ensure all fluids are topped up and leak-free. This includes checking your transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, engine coolant, and windshield wiper fluid. Regular oil changes are also a must – let us handle the dirty work so you can enjoy a worry-free ride.
Check Windshield Wipers
After months of battling snow and ice, your windshield wipers may be worse for wear. A quick inspection and replacement, if necessary, can provide a clear vision for those April showers. Trust Lethbridge Truck Town to provide wipers that ensure unobstructed views.
Check Filters
Spring brings pollen, and with it, the sneezes and sniffles. A clean cabin air filter can be a haven from the allergen onslaught. We can check and replace your filters, ensuring you breathe easy as you cruise into the new season.
