Summer Car Maintenance Tips

1. Check Your Air Conditioner: In the Hubbard heat, nothing is worse than a broken AC! Before you start your Sharon summer adventures, we recommend checking that your air conditioner and cabin air filters are in great condition.
2. Change Your Windshield Wipers: Coming out of the cooler months, the rubber on the wiper blades has probably greatly diminished and needs to be replaced. Take some time to replace your wiper blades for optimal performance.
3. Check Your Brakes: Another summer car maintenance tip is to check if your brake pads will become affected by temperature changes over time.
4. Check Your Tires: Tires are just as important as the engine in your car, they both keep your vehicle going and need regular maintenance to ensure they’re safe for driving. If you have all-season tires that are good year-round, then double-check to make sure there are no bubbles in your sidewalls, signs of cracking, or signs of uneven wear on the treads. If you have seasonal tires, be sure to swap your winter tires out for your summer tires. We recommend learning how often to rotate your tires to ensure they wear evenly.
5. Get a Car Wash & Detail: A good car wash and detail can go a long way in making you feel confident as you move throughout Sharon. With snow, salt, sand, and dirt building up on your vehicle throughout winter and fall, getting a car wash can be much needed. You will also want to clean or detail the interior of your vehicle as well to make sure you’re comfortable.
