Spring Vehicle Care At Reflex Tuning

Spring Care Reflex Tuning

Winter is officially over, and as spring arrives, now is the time to give your Audi or Volkswagen a much-needed check-up.

Cold temperatures, snow, ice, and road salt all take a toll on your vehicle, so a post-winter service ensures it works smoothly as we move into the summer months.

We specialize in keeping your Audi or Volkswagen in excellent condition.

Here’s what we suggest for a springtime routine checkup:

1. Swap Out Your Winter Tires

If you’ve been driving on winter tires, now is the time to swap to summer or all-season tires. Winter tires are meant for cold weather and will wear down quickly in warmer temperatures, resulting in poor fuel efficiency and handling. We can help with the following:

  • Tire Swap – Removing winter tires and installing your summer set
  • Tire Inspection – Checking for uneven wear, cracks, or low tread depth
  • Proper Inflation – Ensuring optimal tire pressure for better fuel economy

2. Get an Alignment Check

Potholes and snowy roads can cause your wheels to come out of alignment, resulting in uneven tire wear and steering troubles.

A spring alignment check ensures that:

  • Better handling and stability
  • Even tire wear prolongs tire life
  • Improved fuel efficiency

3. Brake System Inspection

Winter driving frequently requires forceful braking on slippery roads, which can increase wear on your brake pads and rotors. We will check for:

  • Brake pad thickness – Ensuring safe stopping power
  • Rotor condition – No warping or excessive wear
  • Brake fluid levels – Topping off if needed

4. Fluid Top-Off & Oil Change

Cold temperature causes fluids to thicken and deteriorate more quickly. Spring is an ideal season to:

  • Change your oil for optimal engine performance
  • Top off the coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid
  • Check for any leaks that may have developed over the winter

5. Battery & Electrical System Check

Cold conditions can put a load on your Audi or VW battery.

If your vehicle has been struggling to start, it may be time to test or replace the batteries before you become stranded.

We’ll also test the alternator and charging system to make sure everything works properly.

6. Spring Cleaning – Inside & Out

After months of road salt and dirt, your Audi or VW demands a thorough cleaning:

  • Undercarriage wash – Removes corrosive salt buildup
  • Interior detailing – Gets rid of winter debris
  • New wiper blades – For streak-free visibility during spring showers

7. Check & Touch Up Undercoating

After a New Hampshire winter, rust and corrosion are always a concern.

Undercoating is a corrosion-resistant product that is applied to the undercarriage of your vehicle.

It creates a barrier against rust and corrosion. For the least amount of money, adding a protective undercoat is the best way to make sure that your Audi or Volkswagen will never rust or corrode. Protect your investment with Reflex Tuning Undercoating services!
