Wintertime driving can take a toll on your vehicle. Before spring arrives, it’s important to prioritize scheduling MINI maintenance to ensure your vehicle's systems are operating smoothly. Fields MINI of Glencoe highlights three essential maintenance tasks you should complete.
Brake Inspection
Before spring arrives, consider having your brakes inspected by our technicians for wear and tear after months of driving on icy or snowy roads. Your brakes play a crucial role in helping you stay safe on any road. Common signs of underlying brake issues include soft brake pads and unusual grinding noises. Our team can replace worn brake pads or warped rotors and check for air or cracks in your brake lines.
Wheel Alignment
Another maintenance task you should prioritize before spring is getting your wheels aligned. Driving over potholes during winter can shift the angle of your wheels. If left unresolved, misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear and damage suspension components, affecting your handling and safety on the road. Our team uses advanced tools and equipment to help realign your wheels.
Oil Change Service
Cold winter weather can cause your MINI vehicle’s engine oil to thicken, reducing its ability to lubricate effectively. Before spring arrives, it’s crucial to replace your old, contaminated oil with new, clean oil to improve performance. Changing your oil can prevent sludge buildup and reduce friction, helping prevent your engine from overheating as temperatures rise. We’ll perform some other essential tasks during the service, including topping off fluids and checking various filters.
