Hello, Yuma drivers! As winter fades away and summer comes roaring at us, it’s about that time to show our vehicles some care and attention.

At Accurate Automotive Attention, with over 54 years of dedicated service to our community and the honor of being Yuma’s sole AAA-Approved Auto Repair shop, we’re here to ensure your vehicle is primed and ready to take on the adventures of the season. Join us as we embark on a journey through some essential spring maintenance tasks to keep your car running smoothly and safely.

Fluid Check-Up:

Just like humans need proper hydration, our vehicles rely on various fluids to operate efficiently. Spring is the perfect time to inspect and top up essential fluids such as engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. Low fluid levels can lead to overheating, increased wear and tear, and potential breakdowns. Regular fluid checks ensure your car’s vital systems remain lubricated and protected, extending its lifespan and reliability.

Brake Inspection:

With vacations ahead of us, it’s crucial to pay close attention to your brakes. Warmer weather can amplify any existing issues, such as worn brake pads or damaged rotors. Listen for any unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, and be mindful of any changes in braking responsiveness. Our team of expert technicians can perform a thorough brake inspection, including checking brake pad thickness, assessing rotor condition, and examining brake fluid levels, to ensure your stopping power is up to par.

Tire Care:

As the temperature rises, so does the importance of proper tire maintenance. Fluctuating temperatures can cause tire pressure to vary, impacting handling, fuel efficiency, and overall safety. Take a moment to check your tire pressure regularly, ensuring it aligns with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Additionally, inspect your tires for signs of wear, uneven tread wear, or bulges, which could indicate the need for replacement. Don’t forget to rotate your tires regularly to promote even wear and extend their lifespan.

Wiper Blade Replacement:

Late summer thunderstaorms are a common occurrence, and having properly functioning wiper blades is essential for maintaining visibility on the road. Over time, wiper blades can become worn or damaged, resulting in streaks, smudges, or reduced effectiveness. Inspect your wiper blades for any signs of wear, such as cracks or tears, and replace them if necessary. Fresh wiper blades ensure clear visibility during rain events, enhancing safety and driving comfort.

Air Conditioning Service:

As temperatures climb, the importance of a reliable air conditioning system becomes apparent. Before the sweltering heat of summer arrives, have your air conditioning system inspected and serviced by our skilled technicians. This includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting hoses and components for leaks or damage, and ensuring proper system functionality. A well-maintained air conditioning system not only keeps you cool and comfortable but also prevents potential issues that could lead to costly repairs down the road.

Battery Health Check:

Summer temperatures can take a toll on your car battery, reducing its overall performance and lifespan. As we transition into summer, it’s a good idea to have your battery tested to ensure it’s operating at optimal levels. Our technicians can perform a battery health check, assessing its voltage, capacity, and overall condition. If your battery is showing signs of weakness or age, we can recommend replacement options to keep you powered up and on the move.

Interior Cleaning and Maintenance:

Don’t forget to show the interior of your car some love as well. Spring is the perfect time to declutter, vacuum, and deep clean your vehicle’s interior surfaces. Pay special attention to areas prone to dirt and grime buildup, such as floor mats, upholstery, and dashboard surfaces. Regular interior maintenance not only improves comfort and aesthetics but also helps prevent premature wear and tear.
