To ensure the safety of our clients and their families on the road, our top priority is to provide high-quality service to our customers on each visit, and in this way. We at Top Notch Mobile Tire would like to discuss preventative maintenance tips you should consider as the temperature cools down.
How Does Cold & Hot Weather Affect Tires?
Because your tires will change as the seasons do, this is a crucial part of seasonal preventive maintenance. You will need help switching back and forth and making sure that everything lines up evenly for smooth and safe driving whether you choose to roll on all-seasons until the snow and ice hits, or you rotate between a pair of summer and winter tires depending on the weather. Your tires also require regular maintenance in the form of alignment and rotation. Usually on one side more than the other, the tread on your tires wear down over time. It can be difficult to steer properly over time and can cause uneven driving. It makes your vehicle run more smoothly and extends the life of your tires by rotating your tires regularly as you provide an even wear on the tread.
Oil Change
Spring and summer can be cause for a buildup of additional debris and dust in your vehicle. More intense during these warm seasons include dry dusty roads, rain, insects, and other environmental factors which affect the wellbeing of your car, which makes it a good point to get an oil change. The heat from the long summer months can also cause a faster depletion of fluids in your vehicle in addition to your oil end up dirty over time. Your car’s oil will become clumpy and sticky, rendering it useless. An oil change can help you every 6 months or 10,000 miles.
Brake Inspection
Any seasonal change a good time to have a brake inspection. To make sure everything is in working order, your mechanic will check out the caliper, rotor, drum, and pads. This is the best time to do so if you haven’t had your brake pads changed in a while. When it comes time to break, get those fresh pads in place, and give your car its best chance at a clean stop.
Check Car HVAC System
You’re going to want a vehicle that can regulate temperature properly as the weather changes. Seasonal changes are a good time to have your heating and AC system checked. To make sure your vehicle is warm and toasty for the winter, and cool and comfortable in the summer, your mechanic will do a visual inspection, check for any leaks or problems with fluids and vents, and make minor repairs.
Auto Tune Up
Before the seasons and weather changes, a tune-up is a great way to put your mind at ease. To make sure that your vehicle will get you where you need to go safely, your mechanic will take note of any problems with the ignition, battery, engine, and scan for default codes.
