The service team at Stewart Toyota knows how important it is to keep your vehicle running smoothly, especially in the Texas summer heat. Follow this summer service checklist to ensure your Toyota runs in top shape!
Step 1: Check Your Oil
If you don't remember the last time you got your vehicle's oil change, most likely, it's been too long. Always check your owner's manual for manufacturer's recommendations on brand and oil change intervals.
Step 2: Check the Coolant
The coolant in your vehicle's radiator helps stop your car from overheating. In the hot Texas summer, your vehicle's coolant is working overtime. Coolant degrades and loses its effectiveness over time. It is recommended to change out your car's coolant every one to two years.
Step 3: Check Tires and Tire Pressure
Scientists have found that for every 10 degrees the temperature rises outside, the pressure in your vehicle's tires increases by roughly one pound! Therefore, it is essential to check your vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure and monitor the tire pressure throughout the summer months.
Step 4: Check the A/C
During the summer, your vehicle's A/C is most likely working overtime. If you notice a decrease in your vehicle's cooling capacity, bring your vehicle to Stewart Toyota's Service center to get inspected by a technician.
Step 5: Check and Replace Wiper Blades
Always be prepared for a Texas thunderstorm with quality wiper blades. It is time to get them replaced if you notice splitting, cracking, or skipping across the windshield.
