Summer is an exciting time for road trips, family vacations, and weekend adventures. Especially on the Lakeshore. But before you hit the highway, it's important to make sure your vehicle is up for the journey. At Fox Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Grand Rapids, our expert service team is here to help get your car or truck in top shape for the summer months ahead.
Here are some services you should consider before a big summer trip:
- One of the most critical maintenance items is an oil and filter change. Clean engine oil keeps your motor running smoothly and helps prevent overheating.
- Properly inflated and rotated tires are also key for a safe and comfortable ride. Over time, tread wear can occur unevenly, leading to poor handling and even blow-outs.
- Your brakes are one of the most vital safety systems, so don't overlook them this summer. Scorching temperatures can actually cause brake components to wear faster and become less responsive. If you notice any squeaking, grinding or a "spongy" brake pedal feel, get your vehicle to our service center for an inspection.
- There's nothing more refreshing than a perfectly cool vehicle interior on a sweltering summer day. If your air conditioning isn't as frosty as it used to be, it may be time for an A/C check-up. Low refrigerant levels, loose belts, and other issues can leave you in the heat.
At Fox Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we want your summer driving season to be filled with fun and adventure, not unexpected breakdowns. Let our friendly service advisors and certified technicians provide the seasonal vehicle maintenance you need to beat the heat.
