Here in the Houston, TX area, the coming of summer means that people are making sure that their air conditioners are in good condition and that they have enough lightweight clothing to survive the extreme heat and humidity. One thing that’s not as often thought of is getting your vehicle a tuneup before the most extreme weather starts to hit us. Summer can take its toll on a car, but luckily, the expert mechanics here at the RAM service center at Gillman Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM are ready to get your vehicle into top condition.
Before hitting the road during the summer months, there are a few things that you should take into consideration. One of the most important things that you should check before the heat wave gets here is your tire pressure. Hot tires on hot pavements are already a major risk for a blowout, but if your tires aren’t inflated properly, the risk of a disaster is even greater. Have your tires checked out by a mechanic at our service center.
Whether you’re driving a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, a 2018 Chrysler 300, or a different vehicle, the battery is another thing that you should take extra care of in the summer months. While everybody knows that cold weather is bad for a car battery, the opposite is true as well. Extreme heat can shorten your car battery’s useful life, so it’s a good idea to always carry jumper cables in your car. When you bring your car in for service, our technicians will top off the fluid in your battery and give it a thorough test.
