Top Summer Maintenance Tips



With summer around the corner, here are the top tips to keep your car in the best condition during these hotter months.



Check your tires – Tire pressure changes with the rise of temperature.  An under or over-inflated tire can be extremely dangerous, especially in hotter weather.

Check your fluid levels – Coolant, transmission, power steering, brakes.

Check hoses and belts – Check for cracks or loose connections, this is important for keeping your engine cool. 

Check the coolant and radiator – Summer time is tougher on cooling systems.  You should flush your coolant at least every two years.  Coolant should be added as a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water.

Replace your windshield wipers – With summer comes rain and thunderstorms.  Make sure your wipers are in good working condition.
