Spring Maintenance Tips for Land Rover and Range Rover Vehicles

While preparing your vehicle for winter is crucial, there are also things you should do to make sure your Land Rover or Range Rover performs optimally during the warmer months.  Décarie Land Rover understands these requirements and offers comprehensive service to prepare your vehicle for the upcoming seasons.

Post-Winter Recovery: Essential Exterior Care
Road salt, calcium chloride, and winter chemicals cause corrosion if not properly removed from your Land Rover's undercarriage. A thorough cleaning at Décarie Land Rover eliminates these harmful substances from hard-to-reach areas, protecting critical components from premature wear. Your vehicle's paint and trim require special protection after winter strips away protective layers, making quality detailing services crucial before summer's UV exposure.

Water drainage systems often become clogged with winter debris, creating potential leak points throughout your vehicle. Our technicians clear drain channels around sunroofs, door sills, and body seams to prevent water intrusion that could damage your Land Rover's luxurious interior during spring rain cycles common across Canada.

Critical Fluid and Filtration Systems
Engine oil collects more contaminants during winter, making spring ideal for a complete oil change. Our technicians use only factory-approved lubricants with the precise specifications your sophisticated engine requires. Coolant systems endure significant stress through freezing temperatures, requiring comprehensive inspection to prevent failures during the first hot days of summer.

Cabin air filters need replacement or cleaning as seasons change, improving climate control efficiency while ensuring your system delivers clean air during allergy season. Similarly, engine air filters need to be replaced periodically, making them a common item to address during spring maintenance visits.

Changing Tires
Changing from winter to all-season or summer tires represents one of the most important spring tasks. Our technicians perform complete inspections of each wheel position, checking for damage while ensuring proper inflation for warming temperatures. Suspension components face extraordinary challenges during Canadian winters, with potholes and frost heaves affecting alignment and component integrity.

Our comprehensive inspection examines air suspension systems that require periodic calibration to maintain proper ride height and the legendary off-road capability these vehicles are known for. Alignment services restore your vehicle to exact factory settings, improving handling, ride comfort, and tire life through the high-mileage summer driving season.

Preparing for Summer Adventures
Batteries often show weakness after enduring the strain of cold-weather starting. Our electrical system test identifies potential issues before they cause problems during your summer travels. Brake systems require thorough inspection after winter driving, with special attention to fluid condition and component wear that affects stopping performance during summer heat.

Décarie Land Rover offers comprehensive spring maintenance packages tailored to your specific model and driving habits. Our factory-trained technicians understand the unique requirements of these exceptional vehicles and provide service that maintains both performance and value.
