subject: Keep Your Cool With These 5 Tips For Car Service! [print this page] If youre finally getting ready to head out on that long-awaited vacation following a busy spring, you probably dont want to spend it being towed to a strange town for a car repair, or even stranded on the side of the road waiting for help. This situation usually means more than just a car repair bill. It can involve towing charges, lodging, rental car, extra phone calls, meals, and the general inconvenience of missed reservations. An unexpected car repair not only becomes expensive, but it can bring an abrupt end to vacation plans. This scenario could possibly have been avoided by a pre-vacation car service before leaving home.
So you can enjoy a care-free summer, here are 5 ways to maintain your car, and your cool!
1. Cooling System // Coolant can sometimes top 200 degrees. Have it inspected and serviced at the recommended car service intervals.
2. Air Conditioning System // Your A/C works hard in the summer heat, so have it inspected and serviced by certified technicians.
3. Battery // Excessive heat can take its toll on your battery and charging system. Clean off any corrosion from the battery terminals and connections and have the battery and charging system tested.
4. Tires // Hot weather and long road trips mean added stress on your tires. Be sure to check the air pressure and tread wear on a regular basis.
5. Oil & Filter // Dirty oil, or low oil level can lead to more costly repairs. For proper cooling and lubrication, change the oil and filter regularly.
Not only can a pre-trip car service reduce the chance of costly and possibly dangerous road trouble, it also provides an opportunity to have your car repair made at home by an auto mechanic who is familiar with your car. While no inspection can guarantee a vehicles performance, you will gain peace of mind knowing you took the proper precautions for the safety of your family.
