Spring Is Here Early — Is Your Vehicle Ready?

Winter is hard on vehicles. Fluctuating temperatures, rough road surfaces, and months of deferred maintenance have a way of catching up with you right around the time the weather turns nice and you actually want to drive. The good news is that spring is the perfect time to reset, and Cox Tire & Automotive is making it easier on your wallet with a limited-time savings event running through March 31, 2026.

Here are a few things worth putting on your spring checklist — and how Cox Tire can help you knock them out.

Check Your Tires First

Your tires took the brunt of winter. Temperature swings alone can cause significant pressure fluctuation, and low tire pressure accelerates uneven wear. Walk around your vehicle and take a close look. If the tread looks uneven from front to back or side to side, your alignment is likely off.

Misaligned wheels are one of those problems that quietly costs you money. Your tires wear out faster, your fuel economy suffers, and your vehicle never quite handles the way it should. The fix is straightforward, and right now Cox Tire is offering a free wheel alignment with the purchase of any set of four tires. That is a genuine value — alignment service is something most drivers know they need and keep putting off.

The free alignment covers two-wheel toe adjustment. If your vehicle needs a four-wheel alignment with camber and caster corrections, that is available at an additional charge.

Offer applies to cars and light trucks.

Get a Free Bumper-to-Bumper Inspection

If you are not sure where your vehicle stands after winter, start with a free digital inspection. Cox Tire offers complimentary bumper-to-bumper inspections for cars, trucks, RVs, trailers, and fifth wheels. If you are in the market for a used vehicle, a pre-purchase inspection is also available at no charge.

A digital inspection gives you a clear, documented picture of what needs attention now and what can wait. No guesswork, no pressure — just honest information from certified technicians.

If your inspection turns up something that needs repair, Cox Tire also includes a free diagnostic scan with any approved repair service.

A Few More Spring Maintenance Tips Worth Knowing

Flush your wiper fluid and check your blades. Spring means rain, pollen, and dust. Fresh fluid and a new set of wiper blades is a five-minute fix that makes a real difference in visibility.

Check your battery. Cold weather is hard on batteries, and many that are limping along through winter fail once the heat kicks in. If your battery is more than three years old, have it tested.

Look at your brakes. If you heard any grinding, squealing, or felt pulsing in the pedal over winter, spring is the time to get it looked at before driving season ramps up.

Top off fluids. Coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and oil all deserve a look. Fresh oil in particular helps your engine manage heat as temperatures climb.

Clear out the undercarriage. Road debris, gravel, and grime accumulate over winter. A good rinse underneath your vehicle helps prevent rust and keeps things running clean.

DOT Inspection Special

If you operate a commercial vehicle or simply need to stay current on compliance, Cox Tire is offering DOT Inspections at $149.95 through March 31, 2026. That is $40 off the regular price of $189.95, performed by certified technicians who know the requirements inside and out.

Spring maintenance does not have to be expensive or complicated. A little attention now prevents a much bigger repair bill later, and with these savings in place, there is no better time to get it done.
