The warm summer temperatures can affect your vehicle just as harshly as cold winter weather. A visit to Beechmont Subaru service center for some summer maintenance service will prepare you for successful road trips and weekend vacations all summer long.
Essential Summer Maintenance for Your Subaru
- Engine inspection: Wherever your summer driving plans take you, whether it's a picnic in town or an adventure out of state, an engine inspection will provide peace of mind. Your technician will check and top up various fluids, inspect components like belts, gaskets, hoses, and wires for signs of wear, look for indicators of looming trouble, such as leaks or cracked materials and check your battery's ability to hold a charge so you're never stranded.
- Tire care: Summer temperatures take a toll on tires with superheated asphalt that challenges them to maintain traction, especially at higher speeds. Your technician can install summer tires with superior grip due to their firmer rubber formula and specially designed tread. If you're keeping a set of all-season tires on instead, it's a good idea to get them rotated so they continue to wear down at an even rate.
- Air conditioning maintenance: Crisp, cool air on a summer day can make all the difference while you're driving. If your air conditioner is struggling to keep up, you may need to add refrigerant or get an inspection of the system to see if a component isn't performing properly. An inspection will ensure you're not caught without cool air when you need it most.
- Brake inspection: Summer temperatures can add to the extreme heat produced by braking friction, so it's a good idea to have your system checked. With a thorough check of your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid, you can feel confident your vehicle will successfully stop when you press on the brakes.
