If you're planning on traveling this summer, whether returning to your favorite spot or venturing to a new destination, make sure your car is ready for the journey. There are several easy things you can do to prepare your vehicle, and our service center near Baltimore at Ourisman Mazda is here to help.
Summer Maintenance Checklist
Change the Oil
Engine oil prevents overheating by reducing friction between the many moving parts within your vehicle. It also removes debris, keeping the engine clean. Getting the oil changed will help your car run smoother and more efficiently around Pasadena, MD.
Check the Air Conditioning
Beat the summer heat by checking your AC. If your vehicle's climate system needs a tune-up, swing by our service center near Silver Spring. We will make sure everything is functioning properly so you can stay cool during your travels.
Check the Tires
Inspect the tread level and make sure the tire pressure aligns with the specifications in the owner's manual. Overinflated and underinflated tires can lead to poor fuel efficiency, less traction, increased friction, faster wear and tear, and blowouts. Our team can rotate the tires and inspect the wheel alignment to make sure everything rolls smoothly.
Inspect Your Windshield Wipers
Before heading out on the road, make sure the windshield wipers are working correctly and that the wiper fluid is topped off. You won't want to get caught in a downpour without working wipers. Our service center can easily replace a faulty windshield wiper or refill the fluid.
Make Sure the Lights Work
Inspect your vehicle's headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazards before hitting the road. Working lights will allow you to safely navigate city traffic, nighttime travel, and poor weather conditions.
