Check the TiresÂ
Nothing will slow down your summer road trip faster than a flat tire, making it imperative that you check your tires before you hit the road this summer. Make sure to check the tire pressure, tread depth and look for debris when you get ready for summer travel. It is also important to know how many miles you can drive on BMW run-flat tires in case of an emergency. Â
Check and Change the OilÂ
We have all ignored an impending oil change at some point. Make sure you check and change your oil before you embark on your family adventure this summer. Keep an eye on oil fluid levels, watch for oil leaks and change the oil filter to ensure you enjoy peak performance this summer.Â
Check Coolant and Fluid LevelsÂ
Do not get caught in the Texas sun this summer, stuck on the side of the road with an engine that has overheated. It is important to check engine coolant and fluid levels before you depart to ensure that your engine does not seize up in the middle of your road trip. Make sure to check coolant, power steering fluid and windshield wiper fluid.Â
Check and Change Windshield WipersÂ
Few things are more dangerous than driving in a summer thunderstorm with windshield wipers that will not work or have damaged blades that leave streaks. Double check the condition and operation of your windshield wiper blades before you hit the road to ensure that everything is in proper working order.
Check the Air-Conditioning SystemÂ
Unless you are new to the area, you understand how hot it gets in Texas in the summer and you do not want to get caught with a climate control system that will not work. Make sure to check your air-conditioning system for any leaks or malfunctions this summer so you can get the system repaired before you leave on vacation.Â
