Summer will be here before you know it and with it bring scorching temps, intense sun, and the possibility of strong thunderstorms. It can be a tricky time to hit the road if your car isn't prepared properly, and Toyota of N Charlotte is stepping in to help. Our car care experts are here with six quick tips to help you prep your N Charlotte Toyota for the worst of summer weather without spending a ton of time or money on it.
Six ways to knock summer car care prep out
Tip #1: Check all fluids under the hood. Before summer arrives, you should definitely take a peek under the hood of your car and check the fluids. Make sure that your oil, coolant, wiper fluid, transmission fluid, and brake fluid are all full and clean so your car can maintain its performance even when it's working overtime due to the rising temps outside.
Tip #2: Invest in new wiper blades. Did the winter do your wiper blades in? It might be time to invest in a new set so you can take on summer thunderstorms without a problem. If your blades are streaking, smearing, or squealing, visit our Charlotte car care center for a replacement set.
Tip #3: Get a tire inspection. Summer heat does a number on your car tires. Not only is it hotter outside, the pavement gets scalding to the touch and can really wear down tires that aren't in the best shape. Have our car care experts do a quick tire inspection for you to ensure they're in good condition, inflated to the right PSI, and don't have any problem spots that could cause a blowout when things heat up this year.
Tip #4: Have your A/C checked now. NOW is the time to have your car A/C checked... not in the middle of summer. No one wants to deal with a broken A/C when temps are on the rise so have our car care experts at Toyota of N Charlotte inspect your system and make any necessary repairs or maintenance.
Tip #5: Consider tinting your windows. Tint not only makes your ride look cooler but keeps it physically cooler inside the cabin. It's a great way to protect your interior, too, and we can help you get your car tinted right here at Toyota of N Charlotte. You may also want to splurge on a sunshade for your windshield and if you end up not getting tint, consider investing in seat covers and a steering wheel cover to prevent fading/cracking of your interior.
Tip #6: Detail your car with the right products. Before summer arrives, our Charlotte car care techs recommend washing and waxing your car. Using a quality wax and applying a few coats can do wonders for protection from the sun's damaging UV light, which can fade and damage your car's paint. Shop our Toyota parts store for supplies!
