If you have some exciting things planned for this summer that involve trips or other excursions, your car must be ready. Here our Hyundai service center goes over the maintenance tasks that are especially important this time of year.
Tire Check
For your safety, the treads on your tires need to be deep enough to give you good traction. If they are shallow, it could be time to consider replacements; always remember to replace tires in sets of two or four, and don’t neglect your spare. You should also check tire pressure, as underinflation creates a safety hazard and hurts gas mileage.
Brake Inspection
Your braking system works harder when more drivers are on the road, so it should be examined to ensure it works properly. Over time, components like pads and rotors wear out, and an inspection may reveal that something needs to be replaced or that the brake lines should be bled.
Oil Change
Oil plays a significant role in your vehicle in several ways. First of all, it’s instrumental in keeping the engine's moving parts lubricated, boosting its power. Oil also has a significant impact on fuel economy. If it’s thick and dirty, this affects an engine’s efficiency, so you have to stop to get gas more often.
Windshield Wiper Replacement
Whatever you intend to do this summer, you’ll almost certainly encounter dirt, dust, or pollen in the air. If your wipers are worn out, or your wiper fluid reservoir is low, they won’t be able to give you good visibility. Get a new set of blades and top off your windshield wiper fluid regularly.
