There are many ways you can prepare your vehicle for the summer weather, but we’ll be exploring only three here today. Continue reading below to see what maintenance tips we have for you!
Check Your Coolant System
You need to make sure that you keep your engine cool as the heat increases, and you can do this by making sure your coolant system functions properly. You can do this by looking at the coolant levels, inspecting the state of the hoses, and more. It’s important to know that you don’t have leaking joints and connections, as the loss of coolant can lead to poor engine cooling.
Check the Air Conditioning System
Air conditioning is a summer essential for many, as no one wants to be uncomfortable while driving. You’ll want to make sure that your system is functioning properly before the warmest weather hits, especially if it’s an older model. Leaking Freon from an older model is terrible for the environment, and as such you need to make sure your system works properly.
Switch or Check Tires
Tires need to be checked all year round typically, and especially as the temperatures change by a large degree. The pressures must be correct for the vehicle, the treads should be free of stones, nails, and similar and you might want to consider replacing your tires if they’re not fit for the season. You also need to make sure your spare tire is also fit for the road.
