Summer is here, and for many drivers, that means more weekend getaways and road trips. Before you hit the road, we encourage you to check out these Chevrolet service tips from the experts at Carroll Chevrolet.
Check Your Tire Pressure
In the same way that cold weather deflates tires, your air pressure increases as the temperature climbs. It’s essential to check your pressure regularly. Driving on overinflated tires can cause them to wear prematurely.
Service Your Air Conditioner
While it stays pretty warm year-round in DeLand, things heat up over the summer. In fact, many drivers are done cruising with the windows down and ready to crank the A/C up. We recommend that you service your system to ensure it works optimally and meets the demand.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
Another thing we see year-round in DeLand is rain. While replacing your windshield wipers once a year is typically recommended, that jumps to twice a year in rainy climates and now is an opportune time to do so.
Test Your Battery
Extreme temperatures can strain your battery, so it’s essential to test it before the weather gets too warm. You want to ensure it’s working optimally so you don’t end up stranded this summer.
Pack an Emergency Kit
When you’re far from home, the unexpected isn’t just inconvenient; it can be downright scary. Preparing an emergency kit for your car is important to ensure you’re ready for anything. Your kit should at least include water, jumper cables, a phone charger, and a first aid kit.
