Summer Car Maintenance: What to do Before & During Hot Months
Summer can be as hard on a car as the winter months. During the warm season, there are a number of ways you can make the hot weather easier on your car to minimize the amount of wear it puts on your vehicle.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Fall and Winter
The changing of seasons from winter to spring or summer to fall is a great time to get your vehicle all of the routine maintenance that it needs. This can include changing or topping off fluids, getting an oil change, having your tires inspected, and more.
The colder weather can present challenges for your vehicle, so you'll want to make sure that it’s prepared with these car maintenance steps.
Check the Fluids
Your vehicle needs a variety of fluids to operate correctly. These include oil, coolant, and brake fluid. The levels and quality of the fluid need to be checked occasionally as they can be depleted over time.
