What are your plans for the summer? If you’re like most people, you probably have a getaway planned or at least some more activities in and around Van Nuys. Either way, this probably means more driving, which calls for vital Chevy service tasks so your car is ready for the hot months ahead.
Windshield Wiper Replacement
How old are your wipers? A new set doesn’t typically last that long, as the sun does a number on the plastic and rubber, limiting wipers’ ability to deal with surprise downpours.
To make sure you always have good visibility no matter where you go, we suggest installing new wipers. While you’re at it, make sure that you have enough wiper fluid in the reservoir.
Tire Pressure Check
When the temperature fluctuates, so can the air pressure in your tires, so now is a good time to check them and add air if necessary. Even though many new Hyundai models have a built-in tire pressure monitoring system, it will only send you an alert if the pressure drops below 75 percent. It’s important to remember that underinflated tires will hurt your gas mileage.
Oil Change
Another thing that will have a negative effect on your fuel economy is old motor oil. Oil thickens and gets dirty as it ages, which is bad for the engine. It hinders output and makes the engine work harder, causing fuel economy to suffer along with performance.
