As the summer season makes its grand entrance, the lure of holiday getaways grows stronger. Yet, before you embark on your adventures, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is equally prepared. As your local garage offering car servicing and repairs, Berkshire Car Care is delighted to share our expert recommendations to help prepare your vehicle for the summer.
The first step to a hassle-free holiday journey involves making sure your car is up to the task and running smoothly. If you are planning a long road trip then having your car serviced, even if it is a few months earlier than necessary, is advisable. At Berkshire Car Care we have invested in the latest diagnostic tools to thoroughly assess your vehicle's condition to make sure that is ready for your holiday journey.
The summer heat demands adequate hydration, and your car is no exception. It's vital to ensure that necessary fluids such as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid are at their optimal levels to keep your vehicle running smoothly. If they need topping up, make sure you get advice on the best options for your specific make and model of car.
An oil change can be likened to rejuvenating summer therapy for your car's engine. Fresh oil not only cools but also cleans and lubricates your engine, effectively mitigating the risk of overheating, a common issue in warmer months.
Ensuring that your tyres are legal and road worthy is an essential task all year round, but even more so before embarking on a long journey. The condition of your tyres will not only help keep you and your family safe it can have a significant impact on your fuel efficiency. Correct tyre pressure is also important for a secure and fuel-efficient drive. The rising temperatures of summer make it more important to double-check your tyre pressure before setting off.
If any issues arise during the servicing, it's crucial to address them immediately. At Berkshire Car Care, our skilled mechanics are ready to perform a wide array of repairs, from minor fixes to more extensive issues.
An operational air conditioning system is essential for summer journeys. Apart from providing comfort, it also plays a key role in maintaining driver alertness and preventing windscreen misting.
Despite taking all precautions, unforeseen situations can arise. An emergency breakdown kit, complete with essentials like a first aid kit, torch, and jump leads, is a prudent addition to your vehicle. Be aware that different countries have different requirements in this respect.
Preparing your vehicle for a summer holiday may seem like an arduous task, but with Berkshire Car Care at your service, it becomes significantly simpler. We take care of all your car servicing, oil change, tyres and repair needs, ensuring your vehicle is summer-ready.
