Reminders when preparing to drive in hot weather

  1. Check your vehicle’s battery life

Although the battery of your vehicle is powerful, it can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, especially the heat. If your battery is relatively new, you should be good to go, but if you have any hesitancies, give our service team at Ford of Pleasanton a call at (830)399-4279.

  1. Check the status of your oil

If the date on your oil change sticker is due or past due, it’s very important you get your oil changed as it can affect the engine’s performance. Call us today to see if you need a change.

  1. Check your tires

One of the worst things to happen is getting stuck on the road with a flat, and when your tires aren’t inflated enough, it can cause a blowout if untreated.

  1. Check your coolant level

You always want to make sure you have enough coolant in your vehicle, otherwise it could overheat, and nobody wants that when it’s already hot out. Remember, though, that it’s never safe to check the coolant when the radiator is still hot. Give your vehicle some time for the engine to cool down before you check your coolant.

When in doubt, come see us at Ford of Pleasanton in Pleasanton, TX, and ask about what services we offer. We’re located at 3874 East State Highway 97, Pleasanton, TX 78064 You can also reach out to our serve team at (830)399-4279.
