There is always a lot of talk about care and maintenance for your car during the winter months, but you also need to be aware of certain things during the summer. Although at this time of the year we don’t have the icy roads to contend with, it is important to take good care of your vehicle all through the year.
As well as making sure that you do the essentials, such as booking your MOT test in with a professional like this MOT Gloucester based company www.123carandcommercial.com/gloucester-mots here are some of the things you can do to help you reduce your risk of a vehicle breakdown in the summer…
Check your Spare Tyre if you Have One – Not all modern cars carry a spare tyre and many have run flat tyres instead, but if you do have a spare tyre, you should check that it is fit for use and correctly inflated in case you need to use it.
Pollen Filters and Air Conditioning – As we get into summer it is the time to check your air conditioning as well as the pollen filters in your car. This ensures that everyone in the vehicle can be comfortable, keeping pollutants and allergens at bay as well as keeping the temperature cool on hot days.
Fan Belt Check – This is a good time of the year to get the fan belt checked as this is what keeps the engine cool. Many breakdowns and expensive problems can be resolved by getting this checked.
