Have Your Car Ready for Summer

Pack the beach balls, Frisbee, the kids and the fun, summer time is here and is the perfect time to check that your car is ready for the adventures and trips that are about to come. It doesn’t matter where you go, your vehicle should be the first thing on your to-do list during the summer. Here at Palmen Kia in Kenosha WI, we want to let you know what are the steps to take in order to have your car ready for summer.

Here at Palmen Kia, we care about the car you purchase but we care more about the person who buys it and the people in it. This is why the first thing that you have to do check the battery in your car. Let’s be honest, there are some things that might not survive: ice cream while walking down the street, a fresh styled hair and an old battery.

Old batteries simply cannot handle the heavy electric demands placed on it by climate control, audio and navigation system. This is the first step that should take in order to get your family to the beach instead of the service center.

Whether it’s your old car or your new vehicle, you have to change the fluids in your car. Drivers should know that they have to change their oil twice annually. Now, the best thing is to schedule an appointment to get an oil change before the temperatures kick in as a preventive maintenance move. You will notice the difference! The viscosity of the oil will change between winter and summer; however, the good thing is that your owner’s manual will have the right oil grade for your car.

While you’re at it, do the same for your brake, power steering and the transmission fluids! Don’t let summer car issues catch you by surprise – Be safe and have fun in the sun.
