As the weather warms up and school is letting out, there is no better time to go on a road trip! You’ve chosen your destinations, booked hotels, and nailed your itinerary down-but have you prepared your vehicle for summer travel? The service team at Jerry’s Hyundai can help you get your vehicle in top shape for summer travel!
Ready to hit the road? Follow this checklist to make sure your car is prepared for summer travel:
Step 1: Check Your Air Conditioning System
There’s nothing worse than having your air conditioner quit on you in the heat of the summer. If you notice a decrease in your vehicle’s cooling capacity, take the car to get a diagnosis.
Step 2: Check Your Tires
The temperature of the outside air has an effect on your tires. It has been found that for every 10 degrees the temperature rises outside, the tire pressure increases by roughly one pound! It is essential to check your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure and monitor the tire pressure throughout your trip.
Step 3: Check Your Wiper Blades
You never know what kind of weather the summer months will bring. Be sure to check your wiper blades for any damage and ensure that they are cleaning the windshield correctly. Don’t forget to fill the windshield wiper fluid to remove insects and debris while driving.
Step 4: Listen to the Brakes
Nobody wants to have their brakes go out on the road. If you notice vibrations, pulling while braking, squeakiness, and your brakes being unresponsive, it’s time to get them looked at by a professional.
