Summer in North Idaho is a great time for road trips, camping adventures, and cruising around town with the windows down. But with the warmer weather also comes extra stress on your vehicle—especially if you haven’t had it checked out in a while. At Full On Pro Auto Repair, we believe in preventative care to help you avoid costly breakdowns and keep your car in top shape all season long.
Here are a few smart maintenance tips to help your car handle the heat:
1. Make Sure Your A/C System Is Summer-Ready
There’s nothing worse than discovering your air conditioning isn’t working on the first 90-degree day. If your A/C is blowing warm air or just not as cold as it used to be, it could need a recharge—or there may be a leak or failing component. We’ll inspect the system and make sure it’s ready to keep you cool all summer.
2. Check Tire Condition and Pressure
Hot pavement and long drives can put serious wear on your tires. Low tire pressure not only affects fuel efficiency but also increases the risk of blowouts. We recommend checking your tread, tire pressure, and overall condition regularly—and rotating or replacing them as needed.
3. Stay Up to Date on Oil Changes
Summer driving can be tough on your engine. Clean oil helps reduce friction and keeps everything running smoothly, especially in high temperatures. If you’re due for an oil change—or unsure when your last one was—come in and we’ll get you taken care of.
4. Inspect Your Battery
Heat is one of the leading causes of battery failure. If your battery is a few years old or you’ve noticed slower starts, we can run a quick diagnostic to check its health and make sure you’re not left stranded.
5. Don’t Ignore Your Cooling System
Your vehicle’s cooling system works overtime in the summer. If your coolant levels are low, your radiator is clogged, or your thermostat isn’t functioning right, you’re at risk for overheating. We’ll inspect the whole system and top off or flush your fluids as needed.
