Let’s take a look at how you can get your vehicle ready for the summer.
It can get hot in Texas during the summer. Therefore, you want to make sure that your vehicle does not overheat. That’s why you should check your vehicle’s cooling system. Be sure to also check for coolant leaks. Coolant leaks will appear as orange or lime green puddles under your vehicle.
You don’t want to be stuck in a hot car when the temperature rises. That’s why you will want to inspect your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Make sure that you are getting cool air through all of the vents. Also, be sure to check your vehicle’s cabin air filter.
TIt’s important that you check all of your vehicle’s tires to ensure they have the correct pressure level. You also should check each tire for signs of excessive tread wear or punctures. Finally, make sure that the tires are free of any cracks on the sidewall.
Has it been more than four years since you have replaced your vehicle’s battery? Then you may want to check your battery to ensure that it is still in top condition. Top signs of a dying car battery include dim lighting and a clicking sound when turning the vehicle’s ignition.
Make sure that all of your vehicle lights are in top order. That includes the headlamps, taillights as well as the fog lights. If there are any issues with your vehicle’s lights, then have them changed immediately.
You don’t have to deal with engine trouble in the middle of the summer. Be sure to check your vehicle’s engine filter as well as the engine’s spark plug. If you hear any strange sounds or if you see the check engine light on, be sure to visit our service center right away.
The summer is a great time to get into your vehicle and make the most of that long road trip. Make sure that your Volkswagen is in top shape by following our helpful summer maintenance tips. We offer complimentary Wi-Fi, beverages, and coffee in our comfortable waiting area, so schedule your appointment online or by phone today.
