Getting your vehicle ready for summer travel


-      Check all 9 fluids in your car: including the oil, filters and fluids; brake, transmission, power steering, coolant and windshield washer fluids should also be checked regularly. Your car's filters, including those for the transmission, fuel system and interior ventilation, need regular inspection and replacement.

-      Clean your fuel system, with cleaning fluids

-      Check the engine brake system every year and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change.

-      Check that the battery connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.

-       Check the pressure of all tires, including the spare, at least once a month. Check the tread for uneven or irregular wear and cuts and bruises along the sidewalls. Have your car's alignment checked at least annually to reduce tire wear and improve fuel economy and handling.

-      Test exterior and interior lights and have bulbs that are not working checked immediately.
-   Replace windshield wiper blades every six months or when cracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering for optimum wiping performance and safety.
