Three Ways to Get Your Vehicle Summer Ready

With summer months approaching, now is the time to get your vehicle ready to handle the heat. Below are three things you can do:

1. Get your AC inspected for leaks, clogs and cracked hoses. Refrigerant is the fuel for your AC unit. One leak in the system could deplete refrigerant levels and cause a malfunction.

2. Get your radiator inspected to ensure that tubes aren’t blocked and that there aren’t loose or leaking coolant hoses. A failing radiator could cause components in your vehicle to melt and produce smoke.

3. Check your tires. Hot pavement can cause tire blowouts.
