Bringing your vehicle to Russ Darrow Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of West Bend in West Bend, WI is an option if you need assistance with maintaining your vehicle. Here are some key points to keep in mind to keep your vehicle in the best possible shape during the summer.
Get An Inspection To Keep Cool All Summer Long
Your vehicle's cooling system helps to keep your engine from overheating when temperatures rise. Always keep the proper level of coolant in your vehicle. If a leak occurs, it needs to be repaired to keep your vehicle in the best shape. The air conditioning system in your vehicle needs routine maintenance to keep charged and running when needed as well.
Keep Tires At The Right Pressure And Condition
Tires can get exceptionally hot while driving in hot temperatures. It is important to check on their pressure regularly so excessive air is not present, possibly causing a puncture to occur more easily. Underinflated tires lead to problems with alignments and overall gas usage. Keep a tire pressure gauge in your vehicle so you can inflate or deflate tires as needed. Also, check over the tread of your tires on a routine basis. At the first signs of wear, bring your vehicle to our service for an evaluation.
Ensure Your Battery Is Working Properly
Your battery needs to be working right so you can start your vehicle and run it when you wish. In the summertime months, it is important to have your battery checked over for quality. If a battery is old, it could die at any moment, requiring you to have someone charge it to get your vehicle up and running again. Bring your vehicle to our service to check on the battery life you currently have to determine whether it is time to purchase a new one.
Keep On Top Of Your Vehicle's Illumination System
Your highlights and taillights need to be working properly to help guide your way as you drive and to keep others safe while you are on the roadway. Do checks of each of your lights weekly and add checks to your routine if you find illumination to be subpar. Our service can replace the lights quickly and easily.
Check Over The Engine Performance For Problems
Your engine needs assessments yearly to ensure it is not suffering from potential problems. This includes checks of your cabin and engine air filters and the PCV valve. This check is standard with routine maintenance service.
