A simple maintenance routine starts with your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Use its inspection guidance and service schedule, and include a look at the windshield when checking your vehicle.
Check tires, including the spare
NHTSA recommends checking tire pressure at least monthly, including the spare if your vehicle has one. Check when the tires are cold and use the pressure specified on the vehicle’s label or in the owner’s manual.
Follow the vehicle’s fluid and service guidance
Use your manufacturer’s schedule for oil changes and other maintenance rather than a single mileage interval for every vehicle. Follow the owner’s manual for coolant checks and fluid specifications, or ask a qualified service professional for help.
Look for changes in the windshield
Check for new chips, spreading cracks, and damage that affects your view. Ask an auto glass technician to assess damage rather than deciding from its shape or size alone. Some chips may qualify for rock chip repair; other damage may require windshield replacement.
Keep useful details together
Record when you first noticed the damage and take a clear photograph if you can do so safely. To discuss auto glass service in San Antonio, request a quote with your vehicle details and a description of the issue.
