The summer can be a brutal to an unprotected automobile. Being located in Las Vegas, Nevada, One Stop Motors knows a thing or two about the negative effects the sun can have on an automobile. If you're in an area like One Stop Motors with a lot of sun, these tips should help you keep your vehicle in top shape.
- The roof, trunk lid, and hood need the most attention on the outside of your car. Make sure you wax your car before the temperature soars too high.
- Dashboards and other plastic, rubber, or vinyl parts may become faded from the sun. Use a protectant to help prevent this type of damage.
- Leather seats should be treated with a conditioner to help prevent cracking.
- Park undercover as much as possible to avoid direct sunlight.
- The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating, so be sure the cooling system is flushed and refilled.
- Check the vehicle's main fluids: engine oil, radiator coolant, brake, window washer, transmission, and power steering fluids to make sure they're filled and ready for hot days.
- Check tire pressure. The manual will give recommended tire pressures for different speeds and loads. Maintaining correct air pressure will improve fuel economy.
- Have a qualified technician check the air conditioning system or you may be sorry when the weather heats up.
- Replace the air, fuel, PCV, and other filters as recommended, especially if driving conditions are dusty
