Summer is just around the corner and now is the best time to prepare your vehicle for the hot weather ahead. Keep reading to learn more about our top recommended maintenance services to keep your car cool and running all summer long.
Check that Your Air Conditioning Works
The best way to beat the heat while driving is to blast the air conditioning. To do this, though, you should ensure that the cooling system is working optimally before the temperatures rise too high. If you notice hot air coming out of the system after your car has been running for a while and the knob is turned to cool, contact us to schedule a service appointment.
Top Off Your Fluids
Summer is the perfect time for road trips and long drives. Having adequate fluid in your vehicle’s various systems will ensure your ride is smooth and all components are in working order. Be sure to top off things such as transmission, power steering, coolant, and windshield washer fluids.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
With the warm temperatures come heavy rain to help cool us off. Your windshield wipers are an essential component of your vehicle that can make a big difference in heavy rainfall. If you notice streaking, squeaking, or juddering from your wipers, it may be time to change them.
Change Your Oil and Engine Filter
If you haven’t gotten the chance to change your engine oil and filters yet, now is the best time to do it! Changing your engine oil is one of the best ways to increase the longevity of your vehicle and changing the filter will keep the engine running optimally for longer. If you need help with either of these services, visit our online Service Centre to schedule an appointment today.
