The weather is warming up, the sun is shining, and most of us are itching for some vacation time. No matter where you decide to go, make sure your vehicle can get you there. That’s right, with the rising temperatures it’s a good idea to check your A/C and Cooling Systems, have your oil changed, and check your tires before you head out of town.

Checking your air conditioning is the first step to staying cool on your road trip. No one wants to get stuck on the highway in a stuffy, sticky hot car. Here at Black’s Tire and Auto Service, we can make sure your air vents are blowing refreshing cool air the whole way. We will start with gauging your air vent temperature, examining your compressor, and Inspecting radiator coolant levels.

There is more to keeping your vehicle cool and comfortable than your air conditioning. Your engine also needs relief from the summer heat. Your cooling system consists of your radiator, thermostat, water pump, and various hoses.  This system is vital to your engine's performance and ensures it doesn’t overheat. A quality inspection will include checking hoses and belts for damage, inspection of coolant levels, and confirmation that fans, pumps, and thermostats are working smoothly.

The last thing you want to do is have your oil changed. Most of us are going to put a few miles on the odometer getting to our destinations. A quick oil replacement will ensure our engines will get us there. Similar to your coolant system, oil helps with temperature control and lubricates all the moving parts inside your engine.

As always check your tires before you start your trip. The only thing worse than a flat tire is a flat tire in the heat of summer. Our skilled technicians can rotate your tires, balance your wheels, and check for damage that could cause your tires to blow out. Don’t take chances with your vacation time, come see us at Black’s Tire & Auto Service for quality, affordable auto maintenance!
