IS YOUR CAR READY FOR THE
HOT SUMMER TEMPERATURES?
Whether you are headed out on a weekend road trip, planning a month-long family vacation, or waking a four-wheeled friend from its long winter nap, you will want to make sure the summer driving season brings maximum enjoyment and minimum stress. Before you pack up the car, check out these travel tips from AAA and your local AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities.
First, have your car looked over by a certified and inspected AAA Approved Auto Repair facility. If you are a AAA member you can have a maintenance check performed free of charge with any paid maintenance or repair. This will check over those items on the engine that can frequently fail during summer’s heat, such as belts and hoses. Also, they will give you a written estimate of
any repairs or maintenance and guarantee all work with a 24-month or 24,000-mile warranty that
is good at over 5,600 repair facilities.
Tend to what connects your car to the road – your tires. If you have snow tires on, make sure to switch to some all-season tires for the
summer. Check your tire pressure when cool – and check it often. Buy a quality tire pressure gauge to check air pressures and check the door decal that has the proper pressures for your vehicle listed on it.
Stay on top of your fluids. If you have fallen behind on maintenance, get your vehicle’s oil changed before you hit the road. Use the proper type of oil for your engine, 5w-30, 10w-30, or 10w-40 are multiviscous, and get a bit thinner the hotter it gets outside, thereby increasing the chance that the engine might not get the proper lubrication (it is the opposite in winter). Check the owner’s manual for the proper oil rating
for your vehicle. Also, check the antifreeze and make sure it has enough protection for both summer’s heat and winter’s cold.
Have your battery checked. With today’s vehicles being as heavily dependant on electrical components such as computers, switches, and motors, it is absolutely vital to have a good strong battery and charging system to power all of them. If you are a AAA member, call 570-628-0740 and one of our trained battery installers will come to your location and install a fresh, reasonably priced six-year AAA battery in your vehicle, with some restrictions.
Make sure you can see. Check your wiper blades for condition, if they are skipping on
the windshield or streaking it, they need to be replaced. Twice a year replacement is not unusual because of damage from winter ice and summer bugs and dirt. Also do a light check regularly to make sure all your lights are functioning properly.
