Tips to Get Your Car Ready for Summer at Woody Folsom Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM

Summer is a time of travel and outdoor fun. Whether heading to events around Douglas or gearing up for a long-distance road trip, you'll want to take care of some warm weather vehicle maintenance. While routine upkeep is essential all year long, there are some tasks that are even more important as temperatures soar. We recommend following these service tips to get your car ready for summer.

Replace Wiper Blades

Valdosta drivers may overlook this crucial summer maintenance job but replacing worn wiper blades is crucial to improving your safety on the road. Winter weather is particularly tough on windshield wipers, so it's likely yours may be worse for wear. Worn blades aren't able to thoroughly clean your windshield. In fact, they can even cause smearing that impedes your view. The start of summer is a good time to look into replacement.

Inspect Brake System

You may also want to have your brakes inspected before heading out on your summer adventures. Worn parts like rotors or pads and fluid leaks make stopping inefficient and are a genuine safety hazard.

Service Tires

We also advise our Tifton clients to make sure their tires are in good shape with the start of the summer travel season. Switch out winter tires if you have them. Check your air pressure and make sure you have sufficient tread. Balding or bulging tires should be replaced.

Check Air Conditioner

Unless you want to end up with a broken air conditioner on the hottest day of the year, you'll probably want to give your system a once-over. If it doesn't seem to be blowing sufficiently, let our technicians diagnose the issue.
