If you’ve ever worried about your vehicle in the summer heat, you aren’t alone. We have a few tips for you to be sure you’re in good shape when you get on the road!

Reminders when preparing to drive in hot weather
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
