Summer Car Care Tips

Summer Car Care Tips – Summer, being the hottest time of year, is when your vehicle will be working hardest to cope with the heat. Here are some tips to get your car ready in time for the summer and to avoid vehicle breakdowns!

Air Conditioning

Check your Air Conditioning system: Since your Air Con will be working more than during other seasons, make sure it is working correctly. Cabin Filters need to be checked and replaced if dirty. This makes a huge difference to the air you breathe while in the vehicle. If your Cabin Filter is clean, it reduces the chances of bacteria build up. Getting an Air Con Antibacterial Treatment done is always a plus. After all, you cannot put a price on your health.

Shade

Park your car in the shade, or have a sunshade: Using a sunshade or parking your car under the shade protects the interiors of your vehicle from fading and keeps your car cool in general. Not only does this protect the interiors, but it also protects your engine compartments and components in general. This is the main reason why vehicles last longer in Europe than in the hotter climates. The cooler weather makes the vehicles last longer.

Fluids

Have your Car Fluids checked by SAE AutoCare, your Local Car Repair Garage in Westcliff on Sea, Essex: It is essential to regularly check the level of fluids like your engine oil and engine coolant in order to keep your vehicle performing at the optimum level. This can prevent overheating of your engine, and reduce the chances of a vehicle breakdown.

Car Battery

Let SAE AutoCare your Local Car Electrics Specialist in Westcliff on Sea, Essex check your Car Battery: Just like your vehicle will be working harder during the hot summer months, so will your Car Battery. This is mainly due to a greater degree of evaporation of the many fluids in the vehicle. You may even notice that your fuel consumption will be slightly higher during the summer months. Make it a point to check your Car Battery at periodic intervals.

Car Wash

Get your Car Washed regularly: A regular car wash minimizes the chance for any impurities, debris and harmful chemicals to react with your car paint and cause irreversible damage. Look after the outside as well as the inside.
Getting your Car or Van Serviced is an essential way of checking your cars health, the same way you would with a personal, dental or any other kind of checkup. Prevention is better than cure!
