Russell&Smith Honda Gives Away The Cure For The Summertime Driving Blues

September 2nd, 2010

Russell & Smith Houston Honda dealerships wants to ensure safe driving. With temperatures nearing extreme highs and no relief until fall, every car owner has to consider the damaging effect that the heat can have on a poorly serviced vehicle. The Honda Service team at the Houston Honda dealer have assembled this some advice that can save any car owner time, expense, and aggravation this summer driving season.

The first step is to check the air pressure in the tires. Seasonal temperature changes affect tire pressures. Improper tire inflation affects ride quality and safety; remember that an over-inflated tire is just as bad as an under-inflated tire. It’s easy to forget to inflate the spare tire and check that the roadside tools (jack, lug-wrench, and wheel lock if necessary) are working properly.

Next make sure all of the fluids are topped off including radiator fluid, motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid. Pay special attention to the HOT and COLD level indicators and only fill to the proper line. Overfilling fluids is wasteful and could lead to premature malfunctions

Check that the battery is fully charged and the terminals are free of corrosion. The heat can kill a car battery in no time and summertime humidity can accelerate rust formation on the battery terminals.

People often ignore shoddy windshield wipers until it is to late and they are in an unsafe driving condition. They should be free of cracks and the steel hooks should be clear of the windsheild surface. A new set of wiper blades costs around $20 and can really take the stress out of summer driving.

Once that is all complete check the serpentine belts for cracks and tightness. A constant squeaking noise is the early warning sign of impending belt failure. This belt typically runs the A/C compressor, alternator, and power steering so keeping a close watch on it can be the difference between a good running car and catastophe.

If you are not mechanically inclined bring your car to Russell&Smith Honda’s Service Department. Get your vehicle serviced by the pros. Using OEM parts in a professional shop staffed with factory certified technicians, Russell&Smith Honda can insure a wonderful and problem-free summer vacation. There are many possible pitfalls involved with summer driving, but with proper maintainance car trouble doesn’t have to be one of them.
