Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Avondale- Preparing Your Vehicle for Summer

 The cold months are over and now it's time to plan for summer! Since most don't clean their vehicle out during the winter months, your car could probably use some cleaning before heading into the warmer weather. Below are some tips to help prepare your car for the summer months:

1. Remove everything from the inside that doesn’t belong or is creating clutter. Once you are done removing clutter, be sure to vacuum and dust the interior. Remove things such as:

• Empty water bottles
• Extra coats
• Camping supplies
• Old papers, notes, receipts, wrappers, etc

2. Wipe the interior down:

• Wipe down everything that isn't glass or fabric inside the car
• Use a dashboard cleaner to wipe the dashboard
• The cleaner can linger for a few weeks so make sure it's a smell that you enjoy

3. Periodic maintenance to prevent mechanical breakdown:

• Air Conditioning - Have this examined by one of our knowledgeable technicians
• Oil - Make sure you are changing your oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles
• Windshield wipers - A dirty windshield can be a safety hazard. Be sure that your windshield wipers are working properly and make sure there is plenty of windshield wiper fluid
• Tires - Make sure your tires are rotated every 5,000 miles and be sure to check your tire pressure once a month
