Preparing Your Vehicle for the Changing Season

Examine Your Engine Cooling System

An overheating engine is not something you want your vehicle to experience, especially when the temperatures rise. Start by checking the coolant level. If you need to, add some coolant or antifreeze. Proceed to check your hose where the coolant cycles. Look for cracked or dry hoses. You can try squeezing them one by one to see if they’re still in top shape.

Check Your Air Conditioning

Air Conditioning is essential when driving in Arizona. If you find that your AC is not blowing out cold air, then it is necessary to assess the issue. Check your condenser and cabin air filter for obstructions. It can be very uncomfortable to brave the Arizona Summer Heat without A/C, so bring your vehicle in to All Fleet Services Experts for Air Conditioning Repairs.

Assess the State of Your Tires

Make sure to inspect the tread of your tires. Anything above 4/32 of an inch is considered good. Once your tire tread reaches that depth, it’s time for new tires. Since Monsoon Season can bring heavy storms, traction to the road is vital to avoid hydroplaning. See if your tires are wearing evenly. If not, then your tires may need to be aligned.

Change Your Oil and Filter

During the changing seasons, your engine could dry up, so it will need proper lubrication to make sure that moving parts such as pistons, valves, and others work efficiently. Getting your oil and filter changed regularly is important, and it will also cool your engine during hot temperatures.

Clean Your Windshield Wipers

As mentioned previously, Arizona’s Monsoon Season brings storms that pour rain over The Valley. Make sure to be ready, checking the condition of your front and back windshield wipers. Visibility during heavy rain is challenging enough, if your wipers are not functional- it could lead to accidents.

The rise in temperature is a reminder that the intense Arizona Summer is on the way. Take on the road with confidence, and make sure your vehicle is maintained. It’s important to have it tuned up by reliable ASE Certified Technicians like the team at All Fleet Services in Phoenix & Tucson, Arizona.
