Palmen Fiat can help you keep your vehicle like new.

We know that the summer is filled with plans of beautiful beaches, sunny mountains and long times on the road. This is why you have to take care of the most important tool for your road trip, your vehicle. No, we aren’t just talking about washing it and putting funny stickers on it. We are talking about getting underneath the hood of your new vehicle or your previously owned car and see how you can do with some regularly scheduled maintenance service.
Let’s start with the air conditioning. It is kind of the most important part of staying cool during the summer, so take care of it by having it checked by a qualified technician. Your car’s air conditioning system works just like the one you may have in your home. It uses a mechanical process to recirculate air through a heat exchanger to keep everyone comfortable. This is not all that different from how your engine stays cool while driving. Instead of an air conditioner it uses a radiator with coolant in a closed system which needs to be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. For more information on how to take care of the cooling system, just follow our blog on how to take care of your cooling system.
It’s important that you check and change the oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles or as specified in your owner’s manual. Especially if you make frequent short jaunts or extended trips with lots of luggage or something bigger like towing a trailer. Don’t forget to replace worn windshield wiper blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent in order to prevent any accidents caused by tired eyes due to a dirty windshield.
By keeping a properly maintained vehicle, you are doing much of the necessary work to keep you and your family safe while you travel this summer. If you need any help with the regular maintenance of your vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a service professional from Palmen Fiat.
