It’s no secret that we’ve had a harsh winter, and tough weather conditions like that are hard on your vehicle. This means before you hit the road for some fun in the sun, you should get your Mercedes-Benz road trip ready. Lucky for you, your friends here at Mercedes-Benz of Danbury have put together your Spring cleaning maintenance checklist!

Simply head over to our website to schedule your service appointment, and don’t forget to check out our service offers while you’re there!Give Your Vehicle A Good Wash
  • Winter can be tough on your vehicle’s exterior. Freezing temperatures and salt from the road can do real damage to your paint job, so make sure to start the season with a car wash.
  • If you choose to go to a car wash, go for the premium wash to get all the nooks and crannies and a deep clean after months of harsh road conditions.
  • If you do it yourself, make sure to add baking soda to the wash water if your car has a strong salt buildup. This will help neutralize the salt and save your paint job.
Tire Check
  • When it looks like the snow is finally done falling, be sure to switch from your snow tires to your all-season tires. 
  • Once you have your tires back on, be sure to grab your owners manual to find the Manufacturer recommended air pressure. Not only is this important for alignment, but also can give you better gas mileage and save your money at the tank! 
  • Make sure your tires are rotated regularly and don’t wait until you have a visible flat to fill them up. 
  • Check your tires for worn tread and make sure to replace your tires when the tread becomes too worn. If you’re not sure if you need new tires, use the penny test to determine!
Battery Check
  • After a long brutal winter, you’re going to want to check your battery’s life. 
  • Stop by the dealership for a battery test to see the life of your car’s battery. If your battery is getting weak, you can prevent future problems by replacing it before it stops working. 
  • If you find you’re in need of a new battery, be sure to check out our service offers page to see if you can take advantage of any battery offers!
Replace Wiper Blades and Fluids
  • Snow, sleet, and ice can cause wear on your windshield wipers - and it’s no secret how dirty your windows get with slush getting kicked up at you on the road. This means spring is the perfect time to get new wiper blades and top off your windshield wiper fluid levels for all the spring rain coming your way very soon.
  • New wiper blades are inexpensive and simple to replace, so you won’t even need to pay someone to do it for you. However, our team of experts is always here to help you if needed!
Oil Change 
  • Your vehicle works hard to get you where you need to go, especially during the winter months. That’s why spring is the perfect time to give your care the TLC/pick-me-up your vehicle needs. 
  • Regular oil changes can make all the difference in making sure your car has a long, healthy life. 
  • Whether your vehicle needs a regular oil change or synthetic oil change, our team is here to assist you!
  • Be sure to check out our service offers page to see what offers are available to you!
  • If you will be performing the oil change on your own, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for oil change intervals and oil viscosity, and make sure to change the oil filter as well.

Visibility could be hindered in the winter month due to frost, ice, snow, and other elements. Making sure your defroster is working, your wiper blades don’t have any cracks or are leaving streaks across your windshield Generally, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 months Don’t forget the windshield wiper fluid! Most vehicles will warn you you’re running low but it is always a good idea to keep it recommended levels Have Your Brakes Checked: It’s no secret your breaks are important, but in the winter months, it’s important they’re in shape to take on the winter weather.

Our team is more than qualified to help give you peace of mind and repair any issues we may find Check Your Lights: Your vehicle’s lights tend to be overlooked, but as the days begin to grow darker sooner, your lights become extremely important Think about the last time you changed your headlights and taillights, if you can’t remember, chances are it’s time to change them! If they’re still running smoothly, give them a good cleaning to create better visibility
