Why Summer Service is Important
After we've thawed out of winter and transitioned from spring showers into consistently warm, hot weather, you'll want to make sure that your vehicle is ready for the changes. That means staying on top of many basic services, which include oil changes, tire rotations and alignments, along with checking your air conditioning so your vehicle is ready to go. We're here to help you with that, as we can provide service reminders for your vehicle if you're a returning customer to us, letting you know when you're due for essential services so you keep a tight maintenance schedule year-round. Also, if you're having a vehicle issue that goes beyond the basics, contact us and we can take a closer look so it's something that doesn't linger in the summer or cause a potential issue down the road.
We're here to service Subaru vehicles, and many other makes and model years, so you're prepped for the summer season, and look forward to showing you why our team with standout, well-trained technicians are up for the task.
Summer Vehicle Service FAQs
Why is it important to check my vehicle's cooling system during summer?
Hot temperatures can cause extra stress on your engine, and a properly functioning cooling system prevents overheating, which is something you don't want in the middle of summer. We are here to make sure your vehicle is in high working order, and we will check your cooling system as part of our summer service checklist.
How does summer heat affect my tires?
As temperatures rise, so does tire pressure. Overinflated tires can lead to blowouts, while underinflated ones can overheat. You can self-check tire pressure and inspect for wear or damage on your tires. Of course, tire rotations every 5,000 to 7,000 miles goes a long way to ensure good tire life and even wear.
Should I get my air conditioning system checked even if it's working?
We recommend it! While it might feel find, there's always the potential that it's not performing properly and you don't realize it. We'll check everything from low refrigerant, worn belts, or clogged filters, ensuring you stay cool all season long.
Is an oil change necessary just because it's summer?
Oil changes are necessary during all seasons. If you're due for one, don't hold off and make an appointment with us. With hot weather, engine oil can thin, and reduce its effectiveness, and fresh oil will help your engine run smoothly and stay cool.
What else should I get done for summer service?
Among our recommendations in addition to tire, air conditioning and oil checks, we recommend:
- Battery health as heat can shorten battery life
- Brakes services especially after winter wear
- Windshield wipers and washer fluid to keep the rain and bugs off
- Lights and signals for visibility and safety
