Important Services for Optimal Road Trip Enjoyment

Air Conditioning  No matter where you go in the United States, you can count on the weather to likely be hot this summer. Spending a long time in a vehicle without properly working air conditioning can be a less than ideal experience for everyone in the vehicle. Having air filters changed and refrigerant levels checked before you go on your vacation will ensure that everyone in the vehicle has the cool air for an enjoyable ride.

Battery – In addition to the increased air conditioning demand, your battery has to power a plethora of vital vehicle functions while on the road. When going on extended periods of travel, this can be especially taxing on the battery if it is not working properly. You can have your vehicle’s battery checked with our technicians to see if it will be capable of handling the long journey you plan on going on. If not, we will be happy to provide you with a solution that works best with your vehicle!

Oil & Coolant – Undertaking the most strain during long travel periods in hot weather, your engine needs the fluids that keep it functioning properly. Without adequate levels of oil and coolant, you run the risk of your engine overheating or failing altogether. Scheduling an appointment with our Service Center to have your oil changed and coolant levels filled up is a great way to ease the stress of the journey!
