Car Maintenance is Important year round but it is especially
true in the summer. The hot heat from the sun and temperatures can really do a
great deal of damage to your car, both the interior and exterior parts.
Breaks - Car bakes need to be replaced when the lining on
your brake pad or shoe is worn down past the minimum thickness specified by the
car manufacturer. You can have your brake linings checked at any normal service
shop or at a brake specialist.
Tires - In the summer months your cars tire pressure expands
so it is important to check your tire pressure when it is in a cool place. Make
sure to do this before you set out on any long summer road trips. Proper tire
pressure for your car is also important. Check the recommended tire pressure
label in the door jamb or glove compartment, or consult your owner's manual.
Paint Job - Cosmetic damages are a big issue with summer
when the heat is blaring down on your call parked outside all day. Try to park
in shaded areas or garages when possible. Buying a window shield for the front
of your car will also keep the dashboard in good shape and the car cooler.
Battery - With the summer heat you cars battery can
overcharge and over heat. The best way to combat this is to make sure the
battery is cleaned regularly and that it is in securely. If you are not sure
how to do this take it to a professional.
Windshield Wipers - With summer, there comes rain and
thunder storms. Make sure you wipers are changed and replaced periodically. You
don't want to get caught in a storm with blades that dont work properly.
Take care of your car this summer by following basic tips
and performing regular check ups.
