Spring Vehicle Maintenance Checklist

Diagnostics of the chassis and brake system are the top requests this spring. What else should you pay attention to during a spring car inspection?

Spring Vehicle Maintenance Checklist
  • Check your tires
    Inspect tire pressure monthly and keep it within the recommended range. Also check for uneven tread wear, cuts, or bulges. Rotate your tires every 10,000–20,000 km. Safe tires mean safe driving.

  • Change oil and oil filter
    One of the best ways to keep your engine running smoothly is to change the oil and filter more frequently than the official interval—every 8,000–10,000 km.

  • Check all fluids
    Along with oil, be sure to check power steering, brake, transmission, windshield washer, and coolant fluids. At Hunters, a full diagnostic includes fluid checks.

  • Inspect wiper blades
    Make sure they’re ready for spring rain. Replace them if they’re cracked, squeaky, or leave streaks.

  • Test the battery
    Cold weather can drain your battery. Spring is the perfect time to check its health.

  • Check all lighting
    Faulty lights can cause accidents. Ensure all external and internal lights work properly so other drivers can see your signals clearly.

  • AC checkup
    Spring weather is unpredictable – sunny one day, rainy the next. Ensure your A/C is cooling efficiently and doesn’t smell musty. We diagnose, disinfect, and refill systems as needed.

  • Inspect belts and hoses
    Look for wear, cracks, leaks, or soft spots in hoses and tension in belts.

  • Replace filters
    Filters play a big role in vehicle health. Check the engine air filter, cabin filter, and fuel filter for dirt or damage.

  • Check brakes
    Make sure they’re working properly. If they feel rough or make noise, your pads may need replacing.
