Seasonal Car Maintenance Checklist

Prepare your vehicle for each season with this complete checklist. Summer or winter, your car deserves your full attention.

Winter checklist

Check the battery (cold stresses it), winter tires (mandatory in some regions), antifreeze washer fluid, lighting, and heating system.

Summer checklist

Check air conditioning, coolant level, tire pressure (increases with heat), windshield wipers, and have brakes checked before holiday trips.

Spring checklist

After winter: wash the underbody to remove salt, check shock absorbers, inspect filters (air, cabin), and check summer tires before mounting them.
