Getting Your Vehicle Ready for Summer
With the summer weather here, what better way to spend your time than with a road trip filled with excitement? Now you can't always avoid problems, but you can take steps to reduce the probability of getting sidelined on your trip. Our team at Automotive Solutions is here for you with a few handy tips to have your vehicle ready this summer season.
The most common vehicle component to failure is the tires. Have your tires inspected to make sure they are in great working condition. Having you tires balanced, rotated or even aligned will help your tires go a long way. Your brakes should also be inspected based on the manufacturer's recommendation or as necessary for function as well as to determine how much life is left in your brake pads.
While having your vehicle inspected, be sure to have your auto technician inspect your suspension system. If you need new shocks or struts, you'll really notice the difference on your trip once you have them replaced. Another thing people often overlook is their transmission service. This is very important before a road trip because transmission problems tend to take some time and a lot of money to get fixed. Not the way you want to spend your vacation. Be sure to have you exhaust system check, your exhaust could have dangerous leaks that could become a big danger to you and your vehicle.
Don't forget the more common services such as an oil change, engine air filter, fuel system cleaning and routine tune ups. If your heater or air conditioning isn't working as well as you'd like, let your service consultant know. They can easily check to make sure your heater and air conditioning systems are working properly.
