Summer is an exciting time for road trips and adventures in your GMC truck or SUV. However, the hot weather can take a toll on your vehicle if it's not properly maintained. At Jim Stykemain Chevrolet GMC in Sturgis, MI, we're here to help ensure your GMC is in top shape all summer long with our expert service center. Here are some of the key services we recommend for the warm months ahead.
Some services we recommend include:
- Regular oil and filter changes are crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly. This is especially important in the summer when your engine works harder in the heat.
- Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, so it's vital to keep them in good condition. Tire rotations help ensure even wear, extending the life of your tires so you'll want to make sure your tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread for good traction on hot pavement.
- Your brakes are one of the most critical safety features on your GMC. Extreme summer temperatures can cause your brake fluid to break down faster, potentially leading to brake fade or failure. If you notice any strange noises, pulling, or reduced responsiveness when braking, it's time for a brake inspection.
- If your AC isn't blowing cold air, it may be low on refrigerant or something else, but we'll get your air conditioning blowing cold again, so you can enjoy a comfortable ride even on the hottest days
Don't let the summer heat take a toll on your GMC truck or SUV. Regular maintenance is key to preventing costly repairs and keeping your vehicle running strong all season long. Contact our service center at Jim Stykemain Chevrolet GMC or schedule a service appointment with us today.
