Summer is here, and with it comes the heat. It’s time for the beach or the pool, but first, let’s prepare our vehicles for those summer adventures. You need your vehicle to be performing its best so it can reliably get you where you need to be this summer. The heat the summer brings can take a toll on everything including your vehicle. You can prepare your vehicle to help minimize wear and have it in optimal performance all summer long. Here are some hot auto repair services and preventative maintenance you should perform to help protect your vehicle this season.  

 

Battery: The heat of summer can have a negative effect on your car’s battery, which can lead to breakdowns. Keep your battery terminals clean and securely mounted to minimize vibration. Have your battery tested and have a technician perform a battery replacement if necessary. 

 

Fluids: The fluids in your vehicle keeps components properly lubricated and protect your engine from overheating. When any of these fluids are low, they are not effective in protecting your vehicle. Regular fluid inspection should be done during the summer. Check the motor oil, as well as the steering fluid, the transmission fluid, and the brake fluid and refill them with the fluid types that are recommended by the manufacturer.

 

Tires: Ensure that your tires are fully inflated before going on your adventures. Under-inflated tires can cause blow out and overheating during the hot summer days. Keep your tires at the recommended tire pressure as specified by your manufacturer. 

 

Brakes: Don’t put you and your family at risk by driving with worn or faulty brakes this summer. Have your brakes inspected and perform a brake repair service if needed to keep you and your family and other drivers on the road safe. 

 

Air Conditioning: Being comfortable while driving is important. The air conditioning system of your vehicle works hard to keep your vehicle’s interior cool and comfortable in the summer. Have your A/C system checked to ensure maximum cooling during the summer months.
