Summer is just around the corner! Now is the time to contemplate Toyota repair, which you can schedule at Heritage Toyota Catonsville. Here’s our recommendation of maintenance and repair work that should be completed prior to the hottest season of the year.
Tire Health
Tires blow out more often in the summer because heat causes the air inside the tire to expand. This is why it’s essential to ensure the tires are within the recommended psi. In addition, check for ample tread depth.
Air Conditioner
Run the AC for a minute. Does the air feel warm or humid? If so, there may be a problem with the condenser coil, or the air filter may need changing.
Wiper Blades
The heat may cause the rubber blades to crack. This makes them less effective and more likely to leave streaks on the glass. Fortunately, replacing the wiper blades is an inexpensive and easy fix at the dealership.
Check the Fluids
Be sure all the fluids are topped off. The coolant is especially important because it has the important role of keeping the engine from overheating. A fluid check includes a look at the hoses and clamps for signs of a rupture or leak.
Oil Change
Changing weather can impact oil viscosity. Check that there’s sufficient oil levels and that the oil appears translucent on the oil dipstick. If it appears black and thick, then you likely need an oil change even if the vehicle isn’t due for a change yet.
