Have you started spring cleaning your home yet? Did you know it’s important to give your car a little extra TLC every spring too? These are a few steps to take to get your vehicle spring-ready, according to our MINI service experts at MINI of Bedford.

Inspect Your Tires

Our tires tackle snow and sleet in Bedford winters. It’s important to inspect your tires to make sure they haven’t gotten too worn and don’t have any unusual wear. You’ll still want adequate tread through our rainy spring days too.

Check Your Battery

Cold weather can truly strain your car’s battery. As it starts to warm up, check to make sure there isn’t too much damage done. You want to make sure that your vehicle will start when you need it to, so make this a priority.

Visit the Car Wash

As we mentioned, your spring cleaning should extend to your car. Give the exterior a good wash to get rid of all the gunk and road salt left over from winter. You also want to give the cabin a thorough detailing, clean and vacuum all of the surfaces, and add a fresh air freshener.

Top Off Your Fluids

Now is also a great time to check the fluids in your vehicle to make sure they’re at an adequate level. Don’t forget to check your owner’s manual to see if it’s time to replace your fluids instead of simply topping them off.

The fluids in your vehicle include:

• Motor oil
• Transmission Fluid
• Power Steering Fluid
• Coolant
• Brake Fluid
• Windshield wiper fluid

If you are in the market for a pre-owned vehicle, it’s important to recognize the differences between purchasing a used or Certified Pre-Owned MINI. At MINI of Bedford located in the Boston, MA area we stock a variety of Certified Pre-Owned and pre-owned MINI vehicles and are here to assist you in finding the one that will suit your needs best. Knowing the differences between the two will help in making an informed final decision.

Certified Pre-Owned Advantages

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, or CPO vehicles, are generally lightly used. If a repair was made at any point in history, it was likely repaired by a MINI specialist with genuine original equipment manufacturer parts. Each certified pre-owned MINI at our dealership goes through a meticulous inspection so you can browse with peace of mind that everything will be in working order.

The warranty is another advantage of purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle. Each MINI at MINI of Bedford comes with a factory-certified extended warranty. Our service center honors any repair within your warranty. Our trusted technicians have extensive experience in working with MINI and can assist you in any repair ranging from brakes, tires, and fluid replacement.

Used Vehicles

Purchasing a used MINI may be more cost-effective initially, but keep in mind that they most likely haven’t gone through a rigorous inspection and don’t include a warranty. One advantage is if you wanted to sell in the future, the used car will mostly hold its value closer to your purchase value since the first owner already absorbed the depreciation that comes with buying new. In general, certified pre-owned vehicles are typically more dependable and require fewer trips to the repair shop.

What makes MINI service so important? MINI car service includes a wide range of tasks, like oil changes, tire rotations, battery inspections, and more. These tasks are designed to protect and maintain your vehicle.

Here are just a few of the side effects that can occur if you skip them.

Your Vehicle Will Be Less Reliable

When your essential parts and systems are properly serviced and maintained, they’re more responsive, which means your vehicle is safer. The less responsive your vehicle is, due to low fluid levels, grinding parts, or worn-down systems, the less safe it will be.

You’ll Pay More

Our team works to catch signs of corrosion or wear before they cause damage to other parts and systems. If you wait too long, you’ll have to replace those parts and systems, as well as the originally damaged part, and those costs can really add up.

Your Fuel Efficiency Will Go Down

Proper maintenance also helps to save you money at the pump, by ensuring your vehicle runs as efficiently as possible. Poor maintenance can require your vehicle to work harder in order to go the same distance, which means your fuel economy will drop.

Your Vehicle Loses Value

When it comes to selling or trading in your car, you want to share a comprehensive history of vehicle service and care. This will help you to get the best possible value for your MINI model. An incomplete or spotty service history will reduce that value.

One of the easiest and most efficient ways to maintain and care for your vehicle is with a routine car inspection—and MINI of Bedford is here to help. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to bring your vehicle in for routine car inspections at least every 12 months.

In many places, vehicle inspections are required for registrations and renewals, so it’s helpful to check out your local requirements. Here are just a few of the tasks we cover in a comprehensive vehicle inspection.

Fluids

Your vehicle relies on many different fluids to run, like oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid and brake fluid. In addition to checking fluid levels and filling, as needed, we’ll look for any signs of fluid leaks.

Lights

Your headlights, brake lights, and blinkers are essential for safety and visibility. We’ll make sure all the bulbs are in good working shape and replace those that are dimming or dead.

Filters

The air and oil filters in your MINI vehicle capture dirt before it can damage the engine. As those filters become full, they can no longer protect the engine as efficiently, which is when they’ll need to be replaced.

Hoses and Belts

Hoses and belts are essential to the function of your vehicle, but they can become damaged or worn, especially in extreme temperatures. We’ll make sure there are no signs of cracking or leaks, and address any that might be developing.
