While summer is full of fun, it can also be hard on your vehicle. It’s important to make sure that your vehicle is ready. Mercedes-Benz of Romeoville shares the Mercedes-Benz service you need to prepare your vehicle for extreme summer heat.
A/C Service
A summer drive can be brutal without air conditioning. We encourage you to have your air conditioning system serviced. This includes a careful inspection and cleaning of your system. We’ll also top off your coolant or replace it, if necessary.
Battery Inspection
You should also have your battery inspected before it gets too hot. Heat and car batteries don’t go together well. Heat can cause fluid to evaporate, which can also lead to corrosion. You want to have your battery tested to make sure that it can handle the strain.
Engine Oil Change
Engine oil also breaks down over the summer. The degradation makes it difficult for your engine to be lubricated, which can lead to engine wear. This also depletes your fuel efficiency, so it’s a good idea to replace your engine oil before your summer travels.
Tire Inspection
High temperatures and hot asphalt are hard on your tires too. They can wear down much more quickly in the summer. They also often become overinflated because of the heat, leading to uneven wear. Check your tires often to ensure that they have adequate tread and tire pressure (as outlined in your owner’s manual).
