Check Your Tires
Proper tires and tire inflation are about more than just comfort. Under or overinflated tires can be a safety hazard that results in unpredictable handling and poor wet-weather driving characteristics. And if you’ve still got winter tires on your car, the excessive heat of summer pavement can cause some serious issues due to the softer, pliable rubber compound used to give you grip in cold weather. On hot roads these tires deteriorate quickly, and could lead to a blowout and a dangerous situation.
Oil Changes
Your engine oil works overtime during the hot summer months, helping regulate internal engine temperature while keeping everything properly lubricated. Because your engine oil breaks down under extreme heat, having a fresh oil change done before a big summer road trip will help ensure it goes off without a hitch.
Brake Inspection and Repair
Like your oil, your brakes are susceptible to rapid degeneration when things get too hot. When the ambient temperature is high, it takes your brakes longer to cool in between heavy braking applications. If you’re traveling through the mountains, that means you can quickly overheat your brakes, especially if you have worn or old components.
