Summer is right around the corner, which means it's time to get your vehicle ready for the warm weather driving season. At Candy Ford in Charlotte, MI, we offer comprehensive summer car care services to help keep your vehicle in peak condition when temperatures start to rise.
Schedule Preventive Maintenance
One of the best ways to prepare for summer is to bring your car in for preventive maintenance. This includes an oil change, new air filter, cooling system service, battery test, and inspection of belts, hoses, tires, brakes, and other key components. Preventive maintenance helps spot minor issues before they turn into major repair headaches down the road near Charlotte.
Our expert technicians will inspect your vehicle bumper to bumper and let you know if any parts need replacement.
Check the A/C System
A properly functioning A/C system is essential for staying comfortable on hot summer days. We recommend having your A/C compressor, belts, hoses, and refrigerant levels inspected annually. Catching small leaks or issues early can save you from getting stuck without cold air mid-summer.
Our Charlotte Ford service center has all the high-tech tools and training to diagnose A/C problems quickly and accurately. We can get your system operating at peak performance before the heat arrives.
Get New Tires If Needed
Check your tires for any abnormal or uneven wear. Tires with inadequate tread-adequate depth can lead to better wet-weather handling and blowouts. Tires should be replaced for optimal traction and safety when tread depth is below 4/32 of an inch.
At our Ford service center, we carry a wide selection of name-brand tires to fit your vehicle and budget. Let us know if you need an alignment service, too, as improper alignment can cause accelerated tire wear.
Protect the Exterior
Summer sun, bugs, and road debris can affect your car's exterior. Consider getting a thorough wash and wax or paint protection film applied. We provide professional detailing services that will make your car look showroom-new again.
For quick touch-ups, remember to stock up on cleaning supplies for your garage. This includes soap, wax, bug remover, tar remover, and touch-up paint. Keeping your car clean will help maintain the paint's shine and value.
