Summer is in the air here in Clermont, which means things are about to start heating up! Before you hit the road, you want to make sure your car is prepped to get you where you need to go safely AND keep you comfortable all season long. Toyota of Clermont has seasonal car care tips to get you through the summer with ease - check it out!
The seasonal car care you don't want to skip
Tip 1: Get an oil change now. Oil is absolutely essential any time you run your car, but especially in the summer when it's hot out and your vehicle is working overtime to stay cool. You always want to have a full tank of clean oil - if you run out or the oil is too dirty, it won't be able to keep your engine cool and lubricated. This can lead to serious and expensive damage pretty quickly... so schedule an oil change at Toyota of Clermont before summer hits.
Tip 2: Schedule an air-conditioning inspection.
Is your A/C in top-notch condition? You don't want to spend your summer sweating, so schedule an inspection at Toyota of Clermont today as part of your seasonal car care and let our techs take a look. They'll be able to ensure you're cool each and every time you get behind the wheel all summer long.
Tip 3: Make sure your tires are in top shape.
Your tires take the brunt of the wear and tear on your car since they're in direct contact with the pavement. It's even worse in the summer because the pavement gets so hot in the sun. Our Clermont car care techs can inspect your tires to look for any damage that could lead to a flat or worse, a blowout. They can also check the PSI level to ensure your tires are inflated to the right level and getting you the fuel efficiency you need.
Tip 4: Put new wiper blades on.
Summer in Central Florida often means rain, unfortunately. And your wipers probably took a beating from the heat and constant use last summer. Buy a replacement set at our Clermont Toyota parts store and have our techs help you install them so you can see the road clearly no matter the weather outside.
Tip 5: Test your car battery.
The heat can also do a number on your car battery, believe it or not. We suggest you inspect it for wear and tear as part of your car care (look for signs of swelling, bulging, rust, or leaks). Our auto service techs can also test the voltage for you to ensure it's got enough get-up-and-go to get you through the summer.
Tip 6: Take a peek under the hood.
Finally, take a look under the hood before you head out this summer. You should be on the lookout for leaks, check the coolant level, and give the belts and hoses a once over to ensure they're in good enough condition to beat the heat.
