Taking care of your Mazda vehicle for summer driving is important and provides a variety of benefits. Keeping up with basic maintenance routines will help keep your vehicle in tip-top shape, can improve your residual value if you choose to sell later, and can provide improved safety and reliability. It’s important to keep up with maintenance during the summer because hot weather can provide increased challenges for your car, SUV, or truck. Just following a few car care tips can mean a more enjoyable summer travel season.
It might be easy to forget to replace your windshield wipers but this is important for safety. As they get older, streaks can be left on your windshield and impair your vision. When you bring your vehicle in for other maintenance or your oil change (which is also important to keep up with!), you can ask the dealership about new windshield wipers and installation. The air conditioning system is also especially important during summer travels. If your AC does not cool the way it used to, it might need to be serviced to ensure you have a comfortable drive. Don’t forget the air filter in the cabin which needs to be replaced occasionally to keep pollen out of your air.
Lastly, make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Tires should be checked regularly year round, especially for wear, nails, or other flaws that could be in your tire. Make sure the tread is at a good level.
