Top Tips for a Summer Service
Now the summer is finally here, it’s just as important to have your car serviced during this time as it is in winter.
Some of the most common reasons for a summer breakdown include battery-related issues, wear and tear on tyres, problems with the clutch, and air-con failure. Hot sunny days can take a real toll on your car, so it’s crucial to take notice of any warning signs you may be alerted to as the repairs can prove costly.
Caring for your car
To keep your car running at its best during the summer months, we’ve listed some essential car care tips to help keep your vehicle on the road for longer:
- Have your oil and filter changed regularly as clean oil will help keep your engine running smoothly.
- Check your fluid levels - the coolant is especially important.
- Monitor the pressure on all your tyres and keep an eye on the tread depth too.
- Test your battery as summer heat is the main cause of battery failure.
- Get your brakes inspected, especially if long holiday road trips are planned.
In addition to the above tips, make sure you consider where you park your car. During particularly hot days, try to park in shady areas - your car will not only love you for it, but it also means a less sweaty journey for you too!
