If you're like a lot of folks from Far Hills, NJ area, then you've been waiting all year for your family's summer vacation. Whether you're booking a house at the shore, taking a trip to one of the many great state parks, or even planning a visit to family and friends out of state, many New Jersey families spend the better part of their summers on the road. And if that's your plan as well, it's imperative to ensure that your vehicle is ready for all that extra mileage. Fortunately for you, we've been helping drivers from all over New Jersey to keep their cars in the great shape for summertime trips for years now, and we'd love to give you some tips on how you can do so as well.
Tip #1: Stay on top of regular maintenance
What's the best way to ensure that your car is ready for summertime travel? Make sure it's ready all year round. If you skip on routine maintenance expenses and regular service milestones, you'll be in for quite the auto service shock when summer rolls around. So, make sure you check your manufacturer's maintenance schedule or check in with our certified Mopar technicians to get a good idea of what services your vehicle is due for, whether it's a routine wheel alignment, a fluid flush replenishment, or even something as routine as replacing a brake light. Doing so will ensure that your vehicle is prepared for all your summertime travels.
Tip #2: Check your tires and tire pressure
With rising fuel costs, one of the best things you can do to keep your expenses down at the pump is keeping your car's tires in good shape. That means regularly checking the tread depth, watching for bald spots, and having your tires rotated and balanced at regular intervals. For the latter part, it's a good rule of thumb to rotate and align your tires, every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, so it's a good idea to do so before you set out on a long trip. Additionally, if you keep your tires properly inflated, you're less likely to experience a blowout and you're more likely to achieve your vehicle's maximum potential fuel economy.
Tip #3: Get your A/C system checked
As any Far Hills driver will tell you, summers bring scorching temperatures to our little corner of the country. Now, normally you can escape to your car to beat the heat, but not if your vehicle's A/C system is in disrepair. Luckily, with our team of certified Mopar technicians, we can provide A/C service to keep your car cool and comfortable all summer long here at Team Welsh Jeep Chrysler. From replacing cabin air filters to flushing and replenishing refrigerant, our dealership is a great place to go if your car is having A/C trouble.
