Getting ready for the summer often means unpacking your tank tops and enjoying the good weather, but it’s also a great time to make sure your car is ready for the hot days ahead. For both big group trips to the beach or driving downtown to meet friends in the city, it’s crucial to ensure your car is prepared for summer. Let’s take a look at some great summer tips to keep your vehicle healthy and cool so you can comfortably and reliably enjoy every ride.
Check Your Air Conditioner: There are few things more uncomfortable than sitting in a hot car in the summer. Especially in the seasonal heat, your vehicle needs a working air conditioner. Make sure to check your vehicle’s air conditioner to keep it blowing cold air.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers: Your vehicle’s windshield wipers have rubber that helps them endure harsh winter conditions while enabling you to more easily remove snow and ice. To start the new season with the best performance, getting a pair of fresh wiper blades will keep your vehicle equipped for all kinds of weather.
Inspect Your Tires: When inspecting all your tires, try to look for any imperfections, like cuts, bulges, or things penetrating into the tire. Also be sure to inspect the tire tread – if it looks worn down, it’s probably time to get some new tires. If the tread is fine, you will need to check on the tire pressure, but don’t start until the car has been idle for a few minutes to make sure the rubber has cooled down. If the tire pressure is low, inflate the tire to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure which can usually be found in the owner’s manual.
Check Your Brakes: Brakes are one of the most important parts of your vehicle to check regularly, but especially as temperatures change between seasons. Brake pads are affected by temperature changes, such as when the seasons change and it gets warmer, from winter to spring to summer. Make sure to get your brakes inspected by a professional, especially if it’s been a while. That way you can get a better understanding of any wear and damage.
