If you time your service visits with seasonal changes, you’ll be able to get important maintenance done while preparing for summer’s heat or winter’s colder temperatures and the driving challenges they bring. For high-quality seasonal services, be sure to head over to our dealership in Logansport!
Under the Hood
While most drivers associate a dead battery with especially cold winter mornings, the heat of summer can also take its toll on your battery, causing it to fail prematurely. Any seasonal preparation should include a battery inspection if your battery is starting to age. This can be part of a general engine inspection that also takes a look at gaskets, hoses and belts, filters, fluid levels, and emissions, which can also be advantageous to do if you’re planning a road trip during the warmer months.
Tires & Brakes
All-season tires are a good choice for drivers who can expect predictable weather conditions throughout the year. If you expect to encounter thick snow, slippery ice, or the baking heat of summer asphalt, a seasonal tire dedicated to meeting the challenges of winter or summer driving is a better choice for reliable traction. You also don’t want to neglect your braking system when preparing for summer or winter driving; an inspection of your brake pads or hydraulic system is appropriate if you’ve noticed screeching when you brake or any drop in performance.
