Summer in California means long drives, rising temps, and a lot of demand on your vehicle. The team at Gold Coast Acura wants to make sure your car is ready for all of it, and visiting our Acura service center is the best place to start. A little proactive maintenance now can save you from a breakdown when the heat is at its worst.
Start with Your Cooling System
Your cooling system works overtime in summer. Have a technician inspect the coolant level, check for leaks, and test the radiator. An overheating engine is one of the most common summer breakdowns, and it's almost entirely preventable with a proper inspection.
Don't Overlook Your Battery
Heat is actually harder on car batteries than cold weather. If your battery is more than three years old, get it tested before temperatures peak. A failing battery oftentimes doesn’t you give much warning, and the last thing you want is to be stranded in a scorching parking lot in July.
Tires and Brakes Matter Too
Hot pavement puts extra stress on your tires. Check your tread depth and inflation levels, since underinflated tires run hotter and wear faster. You’ll also want to get your brake pads inspected if you haven’t recently. Both of these are quick checks that make a real difference in safety and performance.
