5 Ways to Show Your Car Some Love This Spring

Winter has taken a toll on your vehicle, with road salt, freezing temperatures, and harsh conditions causing wear and tear. Now that spring is here in Wisconsin, it's the perfect time to refresh and protect your car for the warmer months ahead.

At Tom's Auto, we offer professional spring car care services to ensure your vehicle is road-trip ready, whether you're planning a Spring Break adventure or just enjoying the sunny days ahead.

Here are five ways to give your car a little extra love this spring—let us help you get the job done!


1. Recharge After Winter – Battery & Charging System Check

Cold weather can weaken your car's battery, and spring is a great time to ensure it's still in top condition before summer road trips. A weak battery can leave you stranded, so don’t wait for the first hot day to find out it needs replacing.

How we can help:

Battery testing & replacement – We'll check your battery's health and replace it if needed.
Charging system inspection – Our team ensures your alternator and voltage regulator are functioning properly.
Corrosion prevention service – We clean and treat battery terminals to extend their lifespan.

2. Keep It Fresh – Professional HVAC Cleaning & Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Spring allergies are no joke, and your car's HVAC system can trap dust, pollen, and bacteria. A professional HVAC cleaning helps keep the air inside your vehicle fresh, clean, and allergen-free.

At Tom's Auto, we offer a VPS HVAC System Foaming Cleaner & Deodorizer Service to eliminate mold, mildew, and bacteria from your system—helping you breathe easier this season.

What our service includes:

Deep-cleaning of the evaporator core using Valvoline's Ultra Foam Evaporator Cleaner to dissolve contaminants.
Odor elimination treatment with a professional-grade Heater & A/C Odor Eliminator Spray to neutralize bacteria and allergens.
Cabin air filter replacement for improved airflow and long-term air quality.
Full system circulation & final inspection to ensure peak performance.

Regular HVAC maintenance improves air quality, helps with allergies, and prevents your system from working harder than necessary.

3. Improve Visibility – Wiper Replacement & Windshield Treatment

Spring showers can make driving hazardous if your windshield wipers aren't up to the task. Worn-out wipers leave streaks, reducing visibility, while winter grime can leave a film on your windshield.

How we can help:

Install new high-performance wipers – Designed to handle spring rainstorms with ease.
Apply a hydrophobic windshield coating – Our treatment repels rain for better visibility.
Top off washer fluid – We use a streak-free formula to keep your windshield crystal clear.

4. Protect Against Rust & Wear – Door Hinge & Latch Lubrication

Spring brings rain, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures, all of which can contribute to rust buildup on door hinges, locks, and latches. Keep your car's doors opening smoothly with proper lubrication and rust prevention.

How we can help:

Silicone-based lubrication – We apply long-lasting lubricants to prevent rust and sticking.
Rubber seal treatment – We condition door seals to prevent moisture damage.
Lock lubrication service – We protect keyholes and locking mechanisms from corrosion.

5. Refresh Your Interior – Ozone Odor Removal Treatment

After a long winter of wet boots, coffee spills, and road salt, your car's interior may have developed some unpleasant odors. An ozone treatment is the most effective way to permanently eliminate unwanted smells.

How we can help:

Ozone odor removal treatment – Our professional-grade ozone machine neutralizes odors at the molecular level.
Mold and bacteria elimination – We remove lingering contaminants from winter moisture.
Full interior freshening service – Perfect for getting your car Spring Break-ready!
