Properly caring for your car should be a top priority all year long, but it can be especially important during the hot and humid summer months. If you haven’t visited our Mazda service center in a while, it might be a good time for an appointment. You should also pay attention to the following summer service tips from Pearson Mazda technicians.
Check Your Tires
Did you know that the temperature can actually affect your tire pressure? When the temperature outside rises, so can your tire pressure. This is not good for the longevity of your tires, so take this hot weather as a reminder to occasionally check your tire pressure.
And if you’re in need of a tire rotation, wheel alignment, or new tires, be sure to reach out to our Mazda service center.
Don’t Ignore Your Battery
Your battery can also be affected by the heat. The liquid inside of your battery could actually begin to evaporate, so maybe it’s a good idea to take your car in for a checkup with our technicians. We can test your battery to make sure that it can still hold a charge, and if it’s starting to struggle to do its important job, we can find you a new battery and install it.
Change Your Oil
If you have been putting off an oil change, the summer months are a good time to finally bring your Mazda vehicle in for a service appointment. Your engine is working hard, and all of that heat and friction it creates could damage important parts if your oil is old and sludge-like. Fresh oil will keep your engine operating at peak performance levels.
