Summer is a time filled with road trips, drives to Mount Holyoke Range State Park, and lots of entertainment. Ensure your car is equipped to handle all the fun and adventure with a service appointment at Ford of Northampton.
Check the Air Conditioning
It would certainly be unpleasant if the conditioning goes out as you begin your journey on a hot summer's day. If you've noticed that the temperature isn't getting as cool as it used to, now is the time to check the air conditioning. Having this element inspected before a long road trip is smart even when you haven't noticed any problems.
Be Aware of Tire Pressure
Many people have experienced going out to their vehicles only to find that the low tire pressure warning light is on. One reason that the tire pressure can go down is because of the weather. You might have issues with the tires if there's a major temperature fluctuation. Before embarking on a long trip, ensure that the tires are properly inflated and are in sound condition with plenty of tread.
Get an Oil Change
That little sticker on your windshield reminding you about your next oil change might have peeled off, especially if the weather has become humid. Or, maybe you've been ignoring your vehicle's automatic oil change reminder. If your vehicle is due for an oil change, you'll want to schedule that service before your next road trip. An oil change will ensure your engine efficiently runs as you drive across the state this summer.
