Essential Summer Services and When to Schedule Them
Oil Change & Filter Replacement
Hot weather increases stress on your engine's oil. As temperatures rise, the motor oil's consistency changes, which may reduce its ability to properly lubricate the internal moving parts. Although synthetic engine oil is engineered for longevity, it still requires timely replacement since road debris and dust enter the oil chamber over time, making the oil thicker and causing friction and premature wear. We recommend changing the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or at least twice yearly-ideally before and after summer.
Battery Inspection
Batteries struggle in extreme heat. High cabin temperatures accelerate fluid evaporation inside the casing, shortening its lifespan. If your battery is older than three years, schedule a diagnostic check. Swollen casing, dim lights, or slow starts indicate it's time to replace the unit before you're stranded with a dead battery. To avoid breakdowns or other costly repairs, you should regularly have the battery inspected once or twice a year during your routine oil changes or tire rotations.
AC System Recharge and Leak Inspection
Summer cabin temperatures without reliable air conditioning can make driving miserable. Our service team inspects refrigerant levels, tests system pressure, and evaluates hoses and seals for cracks. Low refrigerant or warm airflow signals the need for a full AC recharge. You'll leave with consistently cool airflow-regardless of the outside temperatures.
Tire Inspection, Rotation, and Alignment
Tire pressure often expands in heat, throwing off balance, wear patterns, and alignment. Uneven tread or visible bulges require immediate attention. Rotating your vehicle's tires every 6,000 miles extends the tires' lifespan and promotes even contact with the road. If you notice your SUV pulling to one side or feel the steering wheel vibrate, our computerized wheel alignment service should follow a tire rotation.
Brake System Service
Increased driving during summer road trips or commutes demands consistent brake response. High temperatures and stop-and-go traffic can degrade brake fluid and accelerate pad wear. Our certified technicians inspect calipers, rotors, pads, and fluid levels. Brake squeal, soft pedal feel, or longer stopping distance are clear signs that service is due.
Fluid Level Checks and Top-Offs
Coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, and transmission fluid require proper fill levels to avoid strain on the engine and other vital components. Coolant, in particular, plays a vital role in heat management; brake fluid ensures reliable and smooth stops, and transmission fluid lubricates the gears and clutch packs for smooth shifting, preventing premature wear and overheating. It also helps to keep the transmission cool by transferring heat away from its components. Our technicians check that each reservoir has the appropriate amount of fluid and is free of contaminants. Skipping this step often leads to an overheated engine and poor performance.
Wiper Blade Replacement
Summer storms around Parsippany can arrive with little warning. Sun damage cracks wiper rubber over time, leaving streaks across the windshield. If your blades skip, smear, or squeak, you should replace them. It's a quick service but critical for optimal visibility during rain storms, snow, or fog.
Cabin Air Filter Swap
Hot weather causes most drivers to use the AC in greater intensities, which sends air through the cabin filter. A clogged or dirty filter restricts airflow and pulls contaminants into the cabin. If you've noticed musty smells or reduced fan power, your cabin filter likely needs replacement.
