Technician pouring oil into an engine

Scheduling regular BMW maintenance is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your vehicle, maintain efficiency, and reduce the need for costly repairs. It’s especially useful to schedule service at the end of winter, when conditions can be a little more extreme and impact your vehicle more significantly. Learn about the maintenance tasks you’ll want to complete for the new season at Fields BMW of Daytona.

Brake Check

If you spend any time driving in cold or inclement conditions, it’s important to schedule a brake inspection. Cold temperatures can cause the metal of your brakes to contract, increasing the risk of wear and damage, and you’re more likely to see corrosion related to salt, snow, and even rain in warmer environments. Drivers also tend to use their brakes more often in the winter, increasing the risk of wear.

Alignment Inspection

Proper wheel alignment helps to ensure your vehicle is driving straight and that there is equal pressure on all tires when driving. After the wetter and inclement conditions of winter, there is a higher risk that your vehicle’s alignment will be out of balance. Watch for signs like uneven tire wear and pulling to one side when driving.

Oil Change

The oil in your vehicle has many important functions, including lubricating and cooling the engine to prevent damage or overheating. It also captures dirt and debris that kick up from the road before it can cause engine damage. With wet or snowy conditions, as well as salt in colder climates, there’s more debris on the road surface, and your oil and filter are likely to become saturated more quickly.
