Summer is in full swing here at Toyota of Clermont. We all know that the rainy season in Florida is in the summer (literally every day it rains). It’s best to prepare your Toyota car ahead of time so you don’t have any unexpected car accidents. By following some simple Clermont Toyota car care steps can make your commute easier! Let’s dive in!
Car care to prepare for in the summer
- Car brakes
One of the most important auto parts on your Toyota car to prepare for the rainy season are your car brakes. Your car brakes are the stopping power of your car, and without them, you’ll slam into the car in front of you. This will be a super costly fix down the line if you ignore this car care tip. Be sure to have our Clermont Toyota auto service technicians check out your car brakes before you go on your road trip this summer!
- Headlights
When you drive in the rain, especially hurricanes, you’ll need your headlights on. Driving with only one headlight (or both) out can cause you to get a ticket or even get into a car accident. Take your car to our Clermont Toyota auto service technicians to inspect your car. At Toyota of Clermont, we can check your turn signals, taillights, headlights, and even your fog lights!
- Tires
Another car care tip that is super important is to check your tires! When driving in the rain, you can hydroplane and get into a car accident very easily with worn tires. During your next oil change, go ahead and get those pesky tires checked out! You can also do the penny test on your tires to check the thread depth. Just take the penny and place it in the tire tread with Abe Lincoln’s head down. If you can see the top of his hair, then it’s time for a new set of tires. The last thing you want is to be driving with your wires and cords hanging out. While you’re at it, go ahead and have other car care checks as well! Have your tire rotation, wheel alignment, and more checked by our auto service technicians.
- Windshield Wipers
Keeping up with your windshield wipers is another great Clermont Toyota car care tip! If you’re using old windshield wipers, then it’s not going to do the best job keeping the rain off your windshield. Not to mention, it can diminish your view from the driver’s seat. Our auto service technicians can help your Toyota car stay up-to-date with your wiper blades!
