12 To-Dos for Spring Prep

Jan 25, 2024 | McMahon Truck Centers Lawrenceburg, McMahon Truck Centers Nashville

Get your truck(s) set for the busy spring and summer seasons! Take care of these maintenance to-dos now.

  1. Lights: increase your visibility during spring’s rainy weather by making sure all your lights are in good working order.
  2. Wiper blades: winter’s icy windshields can damage blades. You want smooth blades for wiping away spring’s rain and pollen.
  3. Tires: check air, tread, and alignment, for your best fuel mileage when you’re busiest.
  4. Oil and fluids: make sure your truck’s oil changes are up to date – and flush, replace, or top off all crucial fluids as needed.
  5. Air conditioning & reefers: do all maintenance now, so the cooling is there when you need it.
  6. Hoses & belts: check for cold-weather-induced cracking and fraying.
  7. Shocks & struts: give these a thorough check, for comfort and safety.
  8. Batteries: maintain or replace your batteries – including checking for corrosion – to make sure you’re powered up for the work ahead.
  9. Brakes: have your truck brakes thoroughly checked and/or replaced for a safer spring and summer.
  10. Spring clean your truck inside and out: breathe easier, get rid of winter grime, and enjoy the ride.
  11. DOT inspection: complete required inspections before your busy season.
  12. Replenish emergency supplies: a good tip every season.
