At Leyshon Flint & Sons, we know that a little preparation can go a long way in ensuring a safe and enjoyable driving experience during the summer.

Here are just some of our top tips to get your car ready for summer driving.

1. Check Your Air Conditioning System

The summer heat can be intense, and a well-functioning air conditioning system is essential for a comfortable ride. If you notice that your AC isn’t as cool as it used to be or if it’s making strange noises, it’s time for a check-up. Our technicians at Leyshon Flint & Sons can inspect and service your AC system to ensure it’s in top condition.

2. Inspect Your Tires

Hot weather can cause the air in your tires to expand, leading to over-inflation. Make sure to check your tire pressure regularly and adjust it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Also, inspect your tires for any signs of wear and tear. If the tread is low or if there are any visible damages, it might be time for a new set of tires.

3. Check Fluid Levels

During the summer, your car’s engine works harder therefore needs lubrication and cooling. Ensure that all essential fluids, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid, are at the recommended levels. If you’re due for an oil change, don’t delay. Fresh oil can help your engine run smoothly and efficiently in high temperatures.

4. Replace Worn Wiper Blades

Summer showers can occur suddenly. Ensure your windshield wiper blades are in good condition to maintain clear visibility. If your blades are streaking or skipping, it’s time for a replacement.

5. Test Your Battery

High temperatures can accelerate the chemical reactions inside your car battery, potentially leading to a shorter lifespan. Have your battery tested to ensure it’s holding a charge properly. Clean any corrosion from the terminals and make sure the connections are secure.
