Summer heat can be just as tough on your car as winter chills. At Skydome Auto, we know that a little maintenance now can prevent costly repairs later. Here are some quick and easy tips to keep your vehicle in top shape this season:
1. Check Your Coolant Levels
Your engine works harder in the summer. Make sure the coolant is topped up and the system is flushed if needed. This prevents overheating — the #1 cause of summer breakdowns.
2. Inspect Your Tires
Heat causes tire pressure to rise. Check it regularly and don’t forget the spare. Look for cracks, worn treads, or bubbles — summer road trips demand strong, safe tires.
3. Test Your AC System
Don’t suffer in a hot cabin. Make sure your AC is blowing cold and the filters are clean. If it’s weak, come in for a recharge or inspection.
4. Keep It Clean
Summer means more dust, bugs, and road grime. Wash your car regularly and apply wax to protect the paint from sun damage.
5. Top Off Fluids
Brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid should all be checked. Summer driving conditions demand everything works at its best.
6. Battery Check-Up
Heat can shorten battery life. If it’s more than 3 years old, get it tested. Better safe than stranded.
