Chill Out Behind the Wheel: Check Your AC

While the sunny days lead to plenty of fun outside—your vehicle can become a place you don’t want to be on a sweltering afternoon if your air conditioning system isn’t working at its fullest potential. Help preemptively solve any potential issues by scheduling an AC inspection—this is when our technicians will look at your belts and hoses for any leaks or damage to help optimize your airflow through your cabin.

Next, you’ll also want to make sure your engine is remaining cool. For a quick fix, schedule a fluid top-off, where our experts will check and fill up your coolant levels to help your motor withstand the heat and minimize your odds of overheating (and getting stranded) while you’re on the go.

Keep On Schedule—The Maintenance Schedule

For our next summer maintenance tip, make sure you keep up with your routine service appointments. One of the best places to start during the warm months is with an oil change every 7,500-10,000 miles to help prevent early wear and tear while further helping your powertrain cool after a day of hard work, whether you’re traveling across the country in your Suburban, pulling a heavy load with your Silverado 2500HD, hitting the track in your Camaro, or enjoying a smooth drive in your Trailblazer.

To help boost your safety, performance, and gas mileage, check your tires. Specifically, you’ll want to pull out a penny and insert the coin head-first into your tread grooves—if you see the top of Honest Abe’s head, it’s time for a new set of tires to help you stop where you plan (instead of sliding into the bumper ahead) and remain in control as you take a tight turn. Next, you’ll want to have our technicians check your battery life. After a season of cold weather, the chemical compositions in your power source can change, so let our technicians see if you need a charge, a new battery, or if you’re good to go on your next adventure.
