Cooling off the Right Way: Help Your Ride Handle the Heat

You already know Florida summer days can get downright hot—which is why you’ll want to start by making sure your air conditioning system is ready for the season—otherwise, you’re in for humid and muggy rides as you cruise through Pinellas Park. Thankfully, our certified technicians are here to check all components of your A/C, from inspecting your fans for damage to making sure your cabin filter doesn’t have a buildup of mold and debris.

While we’re talking about cooling, you’ll want to make sure your engine can keep up with the summer days by checking your coolant levels. Even if you don’t rev your engine to the max in your Land Rover Discovery Sport or hit the off-road trails in your Velar, the blazing sun can still cause overheating in your powertrain without proper coolant levels, forcing you to pull over in the shoulder lane and call for help. Aside from the inconvenience, a lack of coolant can also damage your belts and hoses, which causes your SUV to become undrivable—so, help avoid this situation by scheduling a fluid top-off, which takes literal minutes to complete.

Don’t Neglect Your Maintenance: Keep Up with Your Schedule

When it comes to smooth and reliable drives, you’ll need to keep up with your maintenance schedule this summer—even if your AC system works properly. Start with an oil change to lubricate your powertrain to not only help with cooling but to also reduce friction to help your engine avoid crumbling to pieces. As a rule of thumb, an oil change every 7,500 miles-10,000 miles will help you commute around Brandon or take a road trip with minimal worries.

Also, check on your battery to help ensure your power levels are optimal and that your terminals aren’t damaged. After all, you won’t want to miss an appointment as your SUV refuses to start with an empty power source unable to crank your motor—so let our technicians see if you need a recharge or battery replacement.

To help avoid fender benders and blowouts, you’ll also want to check your brakes and tires—especially since you won’t want to hydroplane through a red light or into another bumper on a rainy day. Thankfully, replacing your worn tread and keeping your brake parts fresh and functioning will help you cruise with premium safety on virtually any road you find.
