How to get your car summer ready!


SPRING IS IN FULL SWING IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AND THAT MEANS SUMMER WILL SOON BE HERE

As the pleasant spring days pave the way for the intense heat of summer in the northern hemisphere, it’s essential to prepare your car to withstand the challenges of the season. Here’s how you can ensure your vehicle is ready for summer, emphasizing car window tinting, car tinting, and sun protection:

SERVICE your cooling system

The engine’s cooling system is fundamental in preventing overheating, which becomes particularly crucial during summer. A well-maintained cooling system ensures your engine operates within safe temperature limits, even when external temperatures climb. Spring is the perfect time for a comprehensive check. Flush the system, replace old coolant, and ensure that all hoses and pumps are in good condition to avoid any mid-summer failures. Also, take this opportunity to check and top up all other vehicle fluids, such as brake fluid and windshield washer fluid, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Get your AC serviced

Don’t be caught with a busted air conditioner at the hottest time of the year! Driving or riding in a stifling, stuffy car can make even the shortest trip seem excruciatingly long. When you start to see the first buds of the year, you know the hot weather will soon be here. It’s a great opportunity to take your car to your local mechanic or dealership to have the air conditioning system inspected and serviced. Many factors contribute to a well-functioning air conditioning unit. A certified mechanic can make sure that your AC system is fine-tuned to keep you cool all summer long.

INSPECT YOUR TIRES

Heat affects the pressure within your tires, which can lead to under-inflation and increased wear and tear. It’s important to regularly check your tires for proper inflation, especially before long trips. Additionally, inspect the treads for signs of excessive wear or damage to prevent blowouts on hot roads. Maintaining proper tire pressure not only ensures safety but also improves fuel efficiency, which can be particularly beneficial during extended summer travel.

Prepare for a breakdown

Despite preventative measures, the possibility of a breakdown shouldn’t be overlooked. Equip your vehicle with an emergency kit tailored for summer conditions. This includes ample water supplies, non-perishable snacks, a comprehensive first-aid kit, essential tools, and perhaps most importantly, an emergency beacon or roadside assistance information. Preparing for the unexpected ensures that you can stay safe and comfortable while help is on the way.

Increase the comfort level

Summertime often means vacations and road trips. Sometimes with children and pets in tow. How do we protect kids from scorching heat and UV rays ? What starts as a fun expedition can quickly go downhill when temperatures soar, and you can’t maintain the comfort of your passengers—furry or otherwise. Pull-down sunshades end up being a hassle and a waste of money when curious dog noses or grabby baby hands yank them down. Window film can easily become scratched and ineffective. Not to mention the myriad of issues associated with trying to install the finicky window film. But there is an alternative to these inferior options.
