Spring Car Care You Don’t Want to Skip
Spring is finally here—and just like your house, your car needs a little spring cleaning, too.
After months of cold temps, road salt, potholes, and tough starts, your vehicle is due for some much-needed attention. At Alternative Automotive in Winfield, MO, we’re here to help you shake off the winter wear and get your car road-ready for the warmer days ahead.
Top Spring Services We Recommend:
1. Tire Rotation & Pressure Check
Winter can be rough on your tires. We’ll rotate them and check the pressure to make sure they’re wearing evenly and ready for the miles ahead.
2. Oil Change & Fluid Check
Cold weather thickens oil and can lead to moisture buildup. A fresh oil change and fluid top-off (brake, transmission, coolant) can do wonders for your engine’s health.

3. Battery Test
Winter drains your battery more than you realize. We’ll test it to make sure you’re not stuck with a dead battery on your next spring road trip.
4. Brake Inspection
If your brakes feel soft, squeal, or just haven’t been checked in a while, now’s the time. Wet, icy roads can take a toll on them.
5. Undercarriage Wash & Wax
Salt, dirt, and grime from winter roads can eat away at your undercarriage. A good wash and wax helps prevent rust and protects your paint and frame.
Bonus Tip: Check Wipers & A/C
Spring showers = good wiper blades. And let’s face it—you’ll want that A/C blowing cold before summer hits. We’ll check both while your car’s here.
