Get Prepared for your Summer Road Trip

Make sure your vehicle is ready for the high summer temperatures as you embark on your road trip.

 

As summer approaches, it’s time to get you and your vehicle ready for a summer of fun as you begin your road trip adventures!

Vehicle Checkup

Before the summer heat arrives, it’s a good idea to have your vehicle inspected and serviced to help prevent unexpected breakdowns, improve reliability, and keep you comfortable on the road during warmer temperatures. Your air conditioning system should be checked to ensure it’s blowing cold air, since small leaks can develop during the colder months and often go unnoticed until the heat arrives. Taking care of seasonal maintenance before temperatures rise can help catch small issues early and keep your vehicle performing its best throughout the summer. 

Oil Change

As you plan your road trips and summer drives, now is the perfect time for an oil change. Heat causes engine oil to break down over time, reducing its effectiveness. Fresh oil helps protect your engine from high temperatures and keeps it running smoothly throughout the season. Since every vehicle has different maintenance needs, check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil change interval or contact us if you have any questions. 

Tire Rotation

Summer is also a great time to check your tires and inspect tread depth. If your tires still have plenty of life left, a tire rotation can help promote even wear and extend their lifespan. On front- and rear-wheel-drive vehicles, two tires typically wear faster than the others because they handle most of the power. Regular rotations help all four tires wear more evenly, saving you money and improving performance.
