Is your Ford ready for summer? 

Is your Ford ready for summer?

It’s summer time once again and there’s nothing worse than sitting in traffic in your car with an A/C that doesn’t work – especially if it’s 95 and sunny outside.

Hot and humid weather speed up your car’s wear and tear. Your car’s minor problems, neglected – could easily lead to a breakdown – and it always happens when you least expect it. So to prep your car up for this coming summer season, have your favorite mechanic check the following before you head off to that road trip:

• Air Conditioning system. A good mechanic can look for and repair any leaks in your system and can replace refrigerant that the air conditioner uses to keep your car cool;

• Cooling System. If you haven't had the cooling system of your car flushed recently, do it now. This will help prevent your car from overheating.

• Check your belts and hoses for cracking and have them replaced if necessary.

• Change your oil frequently. Most engines in new cars have longer oil change intervals than cars from a few years ago. Follow your manufacturer’s guidelines and make sure that you hang on to the receipts.

• Check or replace your filters.

• Check to make sure that your lights are functioning properly.

• Replace your windshield wipers. It is recommended that wipers should be replaced twice a year… once before winter so you have a new set to get you through bad weather, and once in the spring to handle those rain storms.

• Inspect your tires. Make sure that your tires are wearing evenly and that they do not need to be replaced.
