Seeking Summer Service for Your Vehicle at Van Cadillac

Now that the days are a bit longer, this is a great time to seek summer service for your automobile at Van Cadillac. We have some of the most knowledgeable professionals in the area, and they can take care of any routine maintenance that you may need. In addition to maintenance, we can take on repairs that are necessary to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. Are you wondering what summer maintenance entails? Here is some of what we take on.

Changing Your Oil and Filter

Your oil will need to be changed once every six months or so, depending on the oil that’s been used and the mileage you’ve accumulated. If you’re going to be doing a lot of driving in the next few weeks or months, we encourage you to stay on top of those oil changes and filter changes. They go a long way towards protecting your vehicle and engine.

Checking the Quality of Your Fluid and Your Fluid Levels

Summer weather in the way of hot temperatures and precipitation can affect the fluids in your vehicle. We’ll take a look at your coolant, wiper fluid, and transmission fluid. Ideally, you want to make sure that your automobile has what it needs to maintain a proper internal temperature.

Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure Levels

There is a specific amount of pressure needed inside of your tires to maintain a safe level of traction while you’re driving. We like to check this pressure at your service appointments. We also look at the current quality of your tires. We check the overall quality of the tire, the amount of tread that is left, and the wear pattern.

Checking Battery Quality

Summer temperatures and weather conditions have a habit of affecting the quality of your battery. Your battery should have a full charge, and it should be able to recharge on its own normally. Once charged, your battery needs to hold the charge. We can test all of these different factors, and we’ll let you know if your battery is nearing the end of its life.
