Have your engine's cabin and air filters checked

During the winter, your vehicle's cabin and air filters may have gotten their fair share of dirt and debris. Have your vehicle's air filter checked, so you and your occupants enjoy clean cabin air. Also, check to make sure that your engine filter is clean enough to provide top driving performance.

Have your vehicle's car battery inspected

There is nothing more frustrating than being stuck on the side of the road with a dead battery. Therefore, you want to make sure that your vehicle's battery is giving out a proper charge. You will also want to check the battery connectors for any sign of corrosion. If your vehicle's lights are dim or if your vehicle's engine is not turning over properly, then your vehicle's battery may need to be changed.

Check the vehicle's air conditioning system

Temperatures can reach over 95 degrees in the South Florida region. Therefore, you will want to make sure that your vehicle's air conditioner system is in top shape. Check to see if the A/C system is blowing cold air and also check to see if all vents are working properly. If anything seems off, we will get to the bottom of it.

Inspect the vehicle's cooling system

Coolant is important during the summer. Therefore, you will want to check for any coolant leaks. Typically, coolant leaks appear as orange, lime green, or pink puddles under the vehicle.

Check your vehicle's exterior and interior lights

Make sure that your vehicle's lights are ready to go. Check your vehicle's headlights, tail lights as well as interior cabin lights.

Inspect your vehicle's tire pressure and treads

Make sure you perform a full tire inspection. This includes checking the air pressure on each tire. You will also want to check for any cracks on the side of each tire. Finally, check to make sure that there is a deep enough tread on each of your vehicle's tires.
