How to Prepare Your Car for Summer in San Diego (Checklist)

Introduction

San Diego is known for its sunny and warm weather, making it a popular destination for summer road trips, vacationing, and using your vehicle. With high temperatures and increased usage, it's very important to get your car ready for the summer months to ensure that it stays in top condition. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Check your air conditioning

The first and foremost thing you should check before summer arrives is the air conditioning system in your car. Make sure it's in good working condition and that there are no leaks in the system. If you notice any issues, take your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out and repaired.

Change your oil and oil filter

Hot weather can take a toll on your car's engine, so it's important to make sure that your oil is clean and fresh. Schedule an oil change and oil filter replacement before the summer months arrive. We will be offering oil changes soon so you can get your oil changed by a professional while at home!

Check your tires

Hot weather can also cause your tires to wear out faster, so make sure to check the tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition of your tires. Replace any tires that are worn or damaged, and consider switching to summer tires for better traction and handling. We recommend Alvarez Tires in Lakeside, CA.

Check your battery

Summer heat can also put a strain on your car's battery, so have it checked to make sure it's in good condition. Clean any corrosion off the battery terminals, and consider replacing your battery if it's more than three years old.

Check your coolant

Your car's coolant is responsible for regulating the temperature of your engine, so make sure it's at the correct level and that it's clean. If you notice any issues, take your car to a mechanic to have it checked out.

Keep your car clean

The sun and heat can cause damage to your car's paint and interior, so make sure to keep it clean and protected. Wash your car regularly and use a sunshade to protect the interior from the sun's rays. We recommend getting a new coating of ceramic wax applied before summer, and getting an interior detail to remove your vehicle of any stains and get a fresh start for a fun summer roadtrip with the family. It is also the perfect time for getting a Ceramic Coating in San Diego. This will help keep your vehicle’s paint looking very good all summer long. In addition, it will allow you to clean your vehicle in so much less time. You will only need to pressure wash off dirt for it to basically look brand new again.
