Summer is always a good time for traveling more in your car and taking mini-trips. Whether it's a weekend drive to the beach or an extended trip across the country, summer provides the excuse needed to hit the road. And if you want to ensure that your car is safe to travel this summer, you can depend on our service center and our highly skilled technicians. We're here for you when you need us!
Oil and Oil Filter Change
Why are oil and filter changes necessary at regular intervals? It's because the internal engine parts rely heavily on lubrication. And the summer heat can impact the way the oil penetrates those parts. An engine's temperature can reach over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. And the rise in outside temperatures can dramatically affect the viscosity of the oil. Having the highest oil quality increases the chances of improved fuel economy and protects the internal engine parts better during this season.
Fluid Levels
Monitoring the fluid levels in your car is an ideal way to maximize its performance. However, fluids such as windshield, coolant, transmission, and power steering need a more watchful eye during summer. Washer fluid is crucial for having a clean windshield when taking a summer road trip. And low coolant is a common reason for engine overheating. Therefore, make sure all fluid levels meet the maximum level recommended by the manufacturer.
Tire Condition and Air Pressure
How often do you check your tires? If you're like most drivers, it's probably rare. After all, that's why you depend on us. A visual check of your tires is essential to determine if the tread is low or wearing uneven. Our technicians inspect the condition of your tires and make sure there aren't any nails or screws puncturing them. That can result in a flat tire or a blowout. Checking the air pressure is also a good idea to ensure there's not too much air pressure or too little.
Car Battery
There's nothing worse than having a dead car battery. Unfortunately, it's one of the most common occurrences when on a summer road trip. While there are warning signs, such as dimming lights or a slow-to-start engine, typically, it occurs when you least expect it. A proactive way to ensure that your battery is ready for summer traveling is by having a battery test. It can provide you with the peace of mind you want, especially when traveling to unfamiliar places.
