Summer Car Maintenance
Car care tips for June
In June, focus on summer-specific car maintenance. This includes checking tires for pressure and condition, inspecting the cooling system and A/C, and ensuring the battery is in good working order. Additionally, check fluids, including oil, and consider a tire rotation if needed.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Tires:
Check tire pressure and condition regularly, as warmer weather can put extra stress on tires. Consider a tire rotation to distribute wear evenly.
Cooling System & A/C:
Inspect the cooling system for leaks and ensure it's functioning properly, especially as temperatures rise. Also, check the A/C system for proper cooling and potential leaks.
Battery:
Excessive heat can impact battery life, so inspect the battery and terminals for corrosion.
Fluids:
Check oil, coolant, and other fluid levels to ensure they are at the proper levels.
Windshield:
Address any cracked or chipped windshields, as these can worsen in the heat.
Brakes:
Ensure brakes are in good condition, especially before summer road trips.
Other important safety checks:
Inspect headlights, make sure your windshield wipers and fluid are adequate, check belts and hoses for signs of wear or damage and consider an oil change and or a transmission service.
