Check Your Tires
Hot summer temperatures can impact your tire pressure. Improperly inflated tires are more prone to blowouts in the heat. Check your tire pressure regularly and make sure your tires have sufficient tread depth for maximum traction and safety on hot roads.
Keep Your Cool
Nothing makes a summer road trip more miserable than a broken air conditioner. Before hitting the road, get your car's AC system checked to ensure it's blowing cold. Consider having your cabin air filter replaced as well for maximum cooling efficiency and air quality.
Top Off Fluids
High temperatures make your engine work harder. To prevent overheating, check your coolant and oil levels before any long summer drives. Top off or change fluids as needed. While you're at it, refill your windshield wiper fluid to keep your windshield clear of summer bug splatter.
Be Prepared
Summer storms can come on quickly. Be ready for anything by keeping an emergency kit in your car with essentials like jumper cables, flashlight and batteries, first-aid supplies, bottled water, and non-perishable snacks. Planning ahead can turn a summer driving emergency into a minor inconvenience.
