Sun’s Out; Get Your Acura Maintenance On

Summer finally arrived—however, along with beautiful sunny days and exciting new destinations to explore comes more car care to help ensure your Acura vehicle runs in peak condition. But do you need specialized care? And where do you begin? Not to worry, as today, we’ll let you know our top summer car care tips to help your vehicle cruise at its prime. Get started today by scheduling your Acura Maintenance at Spitzer Acura McMurray near Pittsburgh, PA.

Keeping Cool: Make Comfort Come First

It’s no surprise the summers in Upper St. Clair can get warm, with many days reaching the 90s—so you’ll want to make sure your air conditioning is functioning—otherwise, expect muggy rides to the office and miserable cruises across the state in the heat. Thankfully, an AC check is an easy way for our certified and factory-trained technicians to help make sure your hoses and fans are working with no leaks or damage—and that your filters are free from buildup, assisting you in basking in chilled blasts of air keeping your cabin cool.

Next, you’ll want to make sure your motor is keeping cool too (otherwise, expect to get stranded on the side of the road while you wait for your powertrain to cool). Again, this is an easy fix of making sure your coolant levels are topped off to help your motor keep up with the heat.

Your Maintenance Schedule Still Matters…Even in the Summer

Whether you’re looking to dominate the track in your NSX or enjoy a smooth drive in your TLX, you’ll need to keep up with your maintenance—especially your oil changes every 5,000-10,000 miles. By simply replacing your oil, you not only further help your motor cool but you also lubricate the finer parts to help your motor avoid breaking beyond repair.

Next on the summer car maintenance checklist is checking up on your battery. After all, coming out of a cold winter (and some chilled spring days), your battery could be more drained than expected, and you won’t want to get stuck in a parking lot needing to ask other drivers for a jump start.

After replacing/recharging your battery, have our technicians check your brake system to help ensure your stopping power is on point. Also, insert a penny head-first in your tire grooves—if you see the top of Honest Abe’s head, you’ll also want to ask our technicians for a new set of tires to help you stop and blast off with finesse and optimal grip this summer.
