Spring Maintenance 

 

Spring rains and warming weather can cause problems for a vehicle that just got through the winter. Here at Serra BMW of Champaign, we can help.  

 

First and foremost, this is the perfect time to check your windshield wiper blades for winter damage. While simple, it can keep you on the road come spring rains. Additionally, it’s a good time to check your tires and brakes for wear.  

 

Summer Maintenance 

 

With even higher temperatures, you better make sure your air conditioning and cabin air filters are in good shape. It is also a good time to schedule a BMW oil change, too. While in for that, make sure that the rest of your filters and fluids are in tip-top shape. 

 

Fall Maintenance 

 

Before the weather turns into an Illinois winter is the best time to make sure you are ready. That’s why you should get a full checkup, especially your tire treads. You don’t want to slip come winter.  

 

Additionally, this is the best season to add new antifreeze. You certainly don’t want to wait too long for that. 

 

Winter Maintenance 

 

Winters can be harsh around here. With freezing roads, consider changing out your tires for winter ones. If you haven’t yet, make sure your battery and antifreeze are inspected, as well as your car’s heating system.  

 

You might also want to take this time to get a transmission checkup to make sure it is running fault-free and with clean fluid.  

 

Other Maintenance 

 

Some parts don’t need a change in season to trigger routine maintenance. Always keep an eye on your fluids, filters, brakes, and spark plugs. You should also bring your BMW in for regular tire rotations to make sure you get the most out of your tires.
