As winter melts away and spring begins to bloom in New Hampshire, it’s the perfect time to give your vehicle the attention it deserves. After months of freezing temperatures, icy roads, and harsh driving conditions, your car needs a thorough checkup to stay reliable and road-ready.
At Gurney’s Automotive Repair, we believe spring auto service isn’t just about getting back on the road—it’s about getting back on the road safely. We’re here to help you prep your car for spring in Nashua and Milford, so you can enjoy the season ahead with confidence.
Why Spring Car Maintenance Matters
Winter can be especially hard on your vehicle. Road salt, snow, potholes, and cold starts all take a toll on essential systems. When the weather warms up, problems that were dormant during winter often begin to surface.
Bringing your car in for spring auto service gives our experienced team the opportunity to catch small issues before they become big repairs. We know New Hampshire roads, we know New Hampshire winters, and we know how to help your car recover from them.
What to Include in Your Spring Auto Service
Here’s a quick breakdown of what we recommend when getting your car ready for spring in New Hampshire:
1. Tire Inspection and Rotation
Firstly, cold weather can lower tire pressure, cause uneven wear, and worsen alignment. As temperatures rise, your tires expand, potentially affecting your grip on the road.
We’ll:
- Check tread depth and look for any damage or punctures
- Rotate your tires for even wear
- Inspect wheel alignment and balance
If you’ve been driving on winter tires, it’s also time to switch back to your all-season set.
2. Brake System Check
Secondly, salt and moisture from winter roads can corrode brake parts and reduce stopping power. Spring is the time to ensure your braking system is in optimal condition.
At Gurney’s, we:
- Inspect brake pads, rotors, and calipers
- Check for signs of wear, rust, or vibration
- Test fluid levels and top them off if necessary
3. Battery and Charging System
Cold weather weakens your battery, and if yours is already a few years old, it may be due for a replacement.
Our team will:
- Test the battery’s charge and condition
- Inspect terminals for corrosion
- Ensure the alternator and starter are working properly
4. Oil Change and Fluid Top-Off
Spring is a good checkpoint for an oil change, especially if it’s been 3,000–5,000 miles since your last one. While we’re under the hood, we’ll check other vital fluids too.
We’ll examine:
- Engine oil
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Windshield washer fluid
5. Suspension and Steering
Winter potholes can be brutal on your car’s suspension. Bumpy rides or odd pulling could signal damage.
Let us check:
- Shocks and struts
- Steering components
- Ball joints and bushings
We’ll make sure you’re riding smoothly into spring.
6. Wipers and Lights
Lastly, with spring showers on the horizon, visibility is key. We’ll inspect:
- Windshield wipers for cracks or smearing
- Headlights, brake lights, and turn signals
- Cabin air filters to keep spring allergens at bay
