If you're like most drivers in Lynchburg, summer could not get here any faster. It's a great time to get out more, which also means taking road trips. Have you prepared your Mazda for the season? Do you know if it is safe to travel outside of Appomattox? Auto-Mattox can help you get your car ready and keep you safe this summer with the following recommendations from our experienced service center.
Tire Rotation and Quality Inspection
When is the last time your tires were rotated? If it's been a while, it's time to make an appointment before you hit the road this summer. Because winter is typically the harshest season, your tires tend to wear more than any other season. We also recommend that you have the quality of your tires inspected. We'll check the air pressure and the condition to ensure your tires are in top condition to keep you safe.
Oil and Filter Change
A filter and oil change is essential to ensure your engine remains in peak condition for performance. It also helps with fuel economy, which is paramount during summer when you're driving more often than usual. Make sure your oil and filter change is up-to-date for your Mazda. Even if it's due soon, it's not too early to schedule your oil change in Appomattox.
Fluid Inspections
Often, drivers forget to inspect their fluids, such as windshield washer, oil, brake, coolant, and transmission fluids. It is imperative that you periodically inspect your fluids, especially as summer begins. Low fluid levels create a significant risk during summer than any other season. For example, a low coolant level can cause your engine to overheat. With high summer temperatures and an engine that can reach over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, a vehicle breakdown could occur.
