Summer heat can be hard on your car. When temperatures rise in Philadelphia, your vehicle works harder to stay cool. The battery, tires, and engine all feel the stress of high heat. Hot pavement can cause tire pressure to change, and extreme warmth can drain your battery faster than normal.
Your cooling system is very important during warm months. If your coolant is low or old, your engine could overheat. The air conditioning also works overtime when it is hot outside, which puts extra strain on the system. Fluids like oil and transmission fluid can break down more quickly in the heat, so checking them often is a good idea.
At Pacifico Ford Inc. on Essington Avenue, our team is ready to help keep your car running well this summer. Regular maintenance check-ups can catch small problems before they become big ones. If you want to make sure your vehicle is ready for the heat, schedule a service appointment with us today.
