VW Summer Maintenance Tips

Our Top Five Tips for Preparing Your Volkswagen for the Summer

• A/C Inspection: It’s no secret that cars can get warm, especially if they spend time outside. Our technicians will make sure you can get that blast of cool air to cool down the cabin whenever you need by checking your A/C from front to back.
• Cooling System Inspection: Your engine naturally produces heat from the many explosions it creates per second, and summer heat is the least helpful at removing that heat. That means you need a fully-functioning cooling system, and our technicians can make sure that’s the case by checking the coolant, water pump, radiator, and more for leaks and issues.
• Battery and Exterior Light Inspection: The car battery plays a vital role in startup, and weather changes can sometimes hasten the end of its life. We’ll make sure you can hold the appropriate charge for startup, and we’ll check your headlights, taillights, and high beams while we’re in and around the electrical system.
• Engine Performance Check: We’ll check your PCV valve to make sure your car is venting combustion by-products without obstruction, and we’ll also take a look at both your air filters to ensure that those aren’t choking off the air supply for either your engine or your cabin.
• Tire Inspection: We’ll check the pressure on your tires to make sure it hasn’t decreased during the colder months, and we’ll also check your treads. That way we can make sure you don’t risk blowout or flat tires while you’re out in your Volkswagen, and we can even sell you new tires if yours are too worn.
