Spring is the busiest part of the season for workshops, due to a combination of winter months and potholes. Technical information usage on the Autodata workshop application reveals March to be the most popular month for vehicle servicing and repairs, with a 20% rise this month last year for modules such as technical specifications, camshaft drive systems, repair times, engine oil, service schedules and tyre pressures.

KEY SPRING SERVICING OPERATIONS:

• Air conditioning systems are good to be revised in the spring time before summer and hotter months start. 
• Windscreen wipers check as use during winter months on frozen glass and natural wear can cause windscreen wipers to tear or degrade
• Wheels and Tyres check as both can have damage from potholes and wheel suspensions can also become misaligned.
  
• Cracked alloys and shock absorbers check, as again potholes impact the vehicle’s stability and making the vehicle difficult to control.
