Cool Rides Ahead: They Start with Auto Care

Are you ready to cool off this summer with exciting road trips and fun in the sun? Then you’ll need to make sure your car is also ready for the job with Honda maintenance. But where do you begin? After all, there’s a difference in how you’ll care for your ride during the hot months vs the cold seasons. No need to worry though, as we’re here with our top summer car maintenance tips to help your cruiser beat the heat. Get started today by scheduling your summer maintenance at Spitzer Honda Euclid, your local Honda service center near Cleveland, OH.

Take a Chill Drive: Prepare Your AC

It’s easy to get hyped over the sunny summer days—unless your air conditioning system isn’t working in your car. Thankfully, you won’t need to dread the sweltering afternoons for long, as a quick AC inspection can get your cruiser back on the road with peak comfort. Plus, this service is fast—our technicians simply check for damaged hoses and fans to help ensure the chilled air can optimally circulate through your cabin. For good measure, schedule an air filter service as well to help prevent a buildup of dust and debris from blocking your vents or airflow.

Along with your cabin, you’ll also want your motor to remain cool to help your engine avoid overheating and leaving you stranded on the side of the highway. So, schedule a coolant top-off to help prepare your car for the high temperatures—especially if you’re planning a long drive.

Stick to the Basics: Remember the Maintenance Schedule

For any type of cruising you have in mind—from smooth drives in a CR-V to track-bound action in your Civic Type R, you’ll need to keep up with your routine maintenance schedule to help your ride continue to handle like new this season. For an easy starting point, schedule a Honda oil change every 7,500 miles to help your motor avoid premature wear and tear. Plus, whether you plan to hit the trails in your Passport TrailSport or run a few errands in your Accord sedan, the oil helps your motor cool at optimal levels—even on the warmest summer afternoons.

You’ll also want to make sure your tires are ready for the heated roads—and this step is ultra-affordable. Simply pull out a penny and insert the coin head-first into your tire groove. If you see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tread has worn to dangerous levels and it’s time for a tire change to help you corner with control or to assist you in stopping where you plan without sliding through a red light or into the bumper ahead. To help you charge off to legendary new destinations, have our experts inspect your battery to see if you need a recharge or a new power source in general—this quick service could help you avoid getting stranded in a parking lot or arriving late to the office because you needed to ask for a jump start.
