Have you serviced your car lately ?

Summer tends to be the biggest traveling season, so there’s a chance chance that your car may need to be serviced. Scheduled maintenance checks should be done around every 10,000-miles, or less. Your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation and warranty requirements may differ, so make sure to consult your owner’s manual for
additional information.

Check your battery

High temperatures in summer can take a toll on your car’s battery, causing the fluid to evaporate and your battery to drain. Car batteries can last up to 5 years, but high summer temperatures can cause fluid to evaporate and your battery to drain. Don’t get stranded on the road.

Replace your old wiper blades

Wiper blades should be replaced every fall and spring, or every 6 months, depending on where you live. If you live in an area with harsh winter conditions, it’s best to get your wiper blades replaced in the fall.

Restore or replace your headlights

Inspect all lights and bulbs, and make sure to replace any that are burnt out. Sometimes, all your headlights need are a good polish job to make them look as good as new.

Change your oil

Motor oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle’s engine. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, it is essential to change your oil at least 3 times a year, or follow your manufacturer’s recommendations.

Check your cooling sistem
Your cooling system works to control your engine’s temperature for optimal performance. In addition to performing periodic coolant flushes, you should also check the level, condition and concentration of the coolant.

Check your tires & tire pressure
Cold weather affects tire pressure. Properly inflated tires gives you better handling, increased fuel economy, even tread wear, traction and a more comfortable ride overall.

Clean & detail your car
This is the best time to give your car a nice fresh wash and wax treatment at home, while the weather is still nice. Everyone loves a clean car, and you’ll be happy you did it.
