Four driving seasons that at times throw extreme weather, as well as other driving challenges that often change, can make driving challenging in the Murray KY area. Your best defense for hot summertime driving is summertime maintenance that ensures your car is ready for the hottest time of the year. Summertime service prevents engines from overheating while ensuring the best performance.
Oil Change, Air Filter, and Spark Plugs
Summertime driving means your engine is running hotter than at any other time of the year as you commute to Paducah. An oil change replaces the old oil with new oil that has a higher viscosity rating and keeps the engine running cool. A new air filter, spark plug replacement, and new spark plug wires installed as needed will help your motor give you the most power and best fuel economy while running reliably well.
Battery and Charging System Service
Every 25 degrees change in ambient temperature causes your battery to double its discharge rate. That is why extremely cold and extremely hot temperatures cause seemingly good batteries to die overnight suddenly. If your battery is a couple of years old and does not see regular use, it might be at risk of losing its juice and not holding a strong enough charge to turn over the car. We can inspect your battery and charging system to ensure the best results at all times and replace your battery when it no longer holds a full charge.
Air Conditioning and Coolant Service
Another way to keep the engine and drive more comfortable is with air conditioning and coolant service. We will remove your old engine coolant and replace, inspect all belts and hoses to ensure they are in good shape, and install a thermostat with a lower temperature rating. Long hot days of driving in Fort Campbell always are more comfortable with a properly functioning air conditioning system. We provide full AC service on all makes and models to ensure there are no leaks and you get maximum cooling efficiency.
Service for Brakes and Exhaust
Summertime driving requires good brakes, tires, and exhaust to stay safe and abide by local laws. We do full brake inspections and service, including brake pad replacement and rotor resurfacing and replacement when needed. We inspect the calipers and master cylinder to make sure they work properly and do a full brake fluid replacement to give you the best stopping power. The exhaust gets maintained and repaired as needed, too.
Tire Rotation and Balance
Many people mount snow tires to handle the rigors of wintertime driving. Even if you run all-season radials all year long, you still need to service your tires and wheels. We rotate and balance your tires and can check and adjust the alignment to ensure all is well. Regular tire balance and rotation service ensures your tires are in good shape while evening out the wear and tear to give them the longest possible service life.
Wiper Blades and Fluid
Wintertime wiper use can take a toll on your wiper blades. When the summertime heat from the hot sun bakes them the hours at a time onto hot glass surfaces, those wiper blades deteriorate quickly. We have a great supply of top-brand wiper blades and OEM parts at David Taylor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to keep your vision clear while driving in even the worst of weather conditions. We also ensure your wiper fluid is topped off and the washer motor and all the lines are clear and working well to keep the windshield clean so that you can see the roadway very clearly.
