Benefits of Seasonal Maintenance

Many experts suggest that preventative vehicle maintenance occur at least twice a year. Doing so has benefits for the longevity of your vehicle and can also effectively reduce the possibility of being involved in a preventable accident. Here's how you can ensure that your car is ready to take on any road trip - big or small - this summer season.

What Maintenance Should I Perform?

Before heading out on any size trip during these months, it's essential to give your car a tune-up either at home or with a professional mechanic. This means checking fluid levels, brakes, lights, tires, and anything else that could potentially impact your safety. Ensuring these essentials are in proper working order will help reduce the likelihood of a breakdown or mechanical-related accident.

Since many people spend the summer traveling, cleaning out your car can also be beneficial. This includes removing any unnecessary items that may be taking up space and properly storing anything that could become a safety hazard on winding roads, stop-and-go traffic, or during a collision.

Another aspect to consider is whether you want to have your vehicle deep-cleaned or detailed. While this is often seen as a vanity expense, there are actually several health and safety benefits associated. Detailing your car can eliminate dirt and debris buildup, prevent cracks or tears in your tires, and can ensure the vehicle's exterior is protected from severe weather.

By taking the time to perform these simple maintenance tasks, you can help reduce your risk of being involved in a preventable accident.
