Summertime is travel time, and with the long roads ahead, we
want your vehicle to be in tip-top shape! Before the high temps hit, make sure
you cover all of your bases! One of the most overlooked (yet, most important)
parts of your car to check is your tires. Tire pressure changes with rising
temperature, so consult your owner's
manual or the sidewall of your tire to see what your tire pressure should be
and check it with a hand pressure gauge or just let our service shop do it for
you!
Another vital
checkpoint is your coolant. Summertime is naturally the most likely time for
your car to overheat, which can cause severe ad costly damage to your engine
and various other parts of your car. To avoid these pricy damages, take your
car to be inspected for any coolant leaks
to ensure your engine is always cool in the heat of the summer days to
come.
Finally, be sure
to change your air filter. Your filter can become clogged with thick debris
before the summer months and can cause a decrease in your fuel efficiency. Be
sure to have your filter replaced to ensure you are making the most of your
fuel every time you fill up!
