Beat the Heat This Summer
Extreme heat can have an impact on your car’s appearance as well as performance. Ready to beat the heat? Check out Snap Clean’s tips for keeping your car in tip top shape during the summer months.
Change your oil. Your engine oil and filter are a first line of defense against overheating and mechanical failure at any temperature. Planning a summer road trip? Get an oil and filter change prior to your trip! This is also a great time for your trusted mechanic to look over your vehicle and make sure your vehicles systems are functioning properly.
Top off engine fluids. Coolant is especially important during the summer months when the temperatures rise outside. Top off all your vehicle fluids for optimum performance during extreme temperatures.
Service your AC system. Many vehicle owners find that their vehicle AC systems struggle to keep up with cooling during the summer. Get your AC serviced for optimum performance.
Replace windshield wipers. Wipers go through extreme temperature changes throughout the year. This can make them hard and brittle. Dust and pollen can impede visibility while you’re driving. Before you hit the road for summer travel, grab some new wipers. It’s a good practice to check them at least once a season.
Wash your car. Keeping a clean car not only makes you feel better while driving it but can also help you maintain its value. Clean it inside and out before summer travel. Remove fast food wrappers and other trash every time you get out of the car. Vacuum relentlessly before and after a trip. Spring for a higher-level wash to help protect the paint job from the summer sun!
