The hot summer months can be hard on your car, so make sure you’re ready for it. Perform these quick tests at home, then make an appointment for Mazda service to prevent unexpected problems.
Give It a Wash
A Kansas winter’s salt, dirt, and grime can stick to your car for months, leading to decay and ugly rust spots. Give your vehicle a summer makeover with a complete cleaning from bumper to bumper. If you’re washing your car yourself, make sure to thoroughly clean the undercarriage, as contaminants from the road can hide there and cause damage.
Test Your Systems
Most major maintenance needs to be done by trained professionals, but you can test your systems at home to make your visit even more effective. Unpredictable weather during spring months means you may not have used your air conditioning yet, so leave it running and look for signs of trouble. Check your tires for signs of damage or wear and then drive around the block and ensure your brakes are as responsive as you need them to be, as warmer temperatures will make any performance problems even worse.
Come In for a Tune-Up
Our service team can get your car ready for the warmer months quickly. Checking tire alignment, tire air pressure, and battery are all essential to drive safely through summer, so come in for a complete check-up. While you’re here, have your fluids changed, especially if you’re still using a thicker motor oil from winter. Your filters may also need replacement, and any other performance issues you’ve noticed over the winter and spring can be fixed.
