Getting Your Vehicle Summer Ready

posted on 9/11/2017 2:05:31 AM
Auto Repair in American Fork, UTThe days are about to start getting warmer, and warm weather can put stress on vehicles. At Glen’s Tires, we have decades of experience in maintenance and auto repair in American Fork, UT, so we’d like to suggest some maintenance tips for your car for the hot Utah summer: 
  • A/C Repair - Even late model cars can leak refrigerant from the AC system over the course of the winter. At Glen’s Tires, we’ll recharge the system with refrigerant that contains a dye, making it easy to spot any leaks or trouble spots in the system’s lines. Nobody wants to sweat in a hot, stuffy car instead let us do your AC service and auto repair in American Fork, UT. 
  • Oil Change - Having your oil changed at regular intervals is probably the single best way to get the most out of your car; it gets rid of contaminants that can build up and form sludge deposits around crucial engine assemblies. 
  • Tire Rotation - Most tire warranties call for tire rotations at specified intervals. Since tire rotation should be performed every 5,000 miles, it’s a good idea to schedule a rotation with every oil change, as part of routine auto repair in American Fork, UT. 
  • Wheel Alignment - Here’s another common auto repair in American Fork, UT. If you’ve ever had a car that was in need of wheel alignment, you most likely knew it at the time; a car that’s out of alignment will pull to one side constantly, and you’ll have to keep the steering wheel off-center to stay pointed in a straight line. What’s more, poor alignment will get you in the wallet, with uneven tire wear and compromised fuel economy. Make an alignment part of your regular auto repair.
  • Cooling System Service - Antifreeze does more than protect your car in cold weather -- it’s also designed to prevent overheating in summer. Over time, however, antifreeze will break down and lose its effectiveness as it picks up corrosion and contaminants from the cooling system. A radiator flush will drain out those impurities with the old antifreeze/coolant; while we’re at it, we’ll pressure-test the system to look for leaks and will check the hoses and hose clamps for wear and proper fit. 
Glen’s Tires is a part of the community, offering auto repair and tires in American Fork, UT for all makes and models of cars and light trucks. Make an appointment with us today and make sure your vehicle’s ready for summer!
