Tips for Summer Car Maintenance

After a long winter in Pennsylvania, it’s good to know that summer is around the corner. Yes, you can stop worrying about salt and ice for a few months, but with June, July, and August on the horizon, it’s time to prepare your car for the impending heat and humidity. Fortunately, the service team at Spitzer Chevrolet St Marys near Johnsonburg is ready to help you with car maintenance tips for the summer.

Inspections and Checks at the Service Center Near Ridgway

Before the heat and humidity arrive, your car will benefit from a multipoint inspection. This important service is easy to schedule with our online service scheduling tool.

When you arrive at the dealership, your service advisor will guide you through the process and inform you of the results. Our factory-trained and ASE-certified technicians will inspect your vehicle’s tire pressure, windshield wipers, and cabin air filter. Once you hear the results of the inspection, you can decide if you want new wiper blades or air filters. Your technician will fill your tires if they find the air pressure is too low.

We also recommend bringing your vehicle in for a thorough inspection of the cooling system. During this visit, our technicians will inspect your air conditioning system and check your coolant levels. With a proactive air conditioning inspection and update, you can be sure your AC will keep you cool when the summer heat arrives.

Get Ready for the Hot Days of Summer

Having clean engine oil is important all year, especially in the summer as the heat puts added wear and tear on your engine components. Our technicians are experts in oil and oil filter changes, and you can schedule your oil change appointment online before you hit the road for your epic summer road trip. If you have concerns about other fluids, like your brake or transmission fluid, your service advisor can add the service to your oil change or inspection visit.

On the hottest and sunniest days of the summer, consider parking in a garage or the shade. The summer heat, UV rays, and humidity can affect exterior paint and interior finishes. Consider getting a car wash at least once per week, and vacuum your vehicle’s interior regularly to remove dust, pollen, and dirt from your upholstery and carpet.
