Now that we’re in the heart of the summer here in the Severna Park, MD area, drivers are planning things like road trips and family getaways. Before embarking on a long trip or even a regular commute, it is essential to make sure your vehicle is in top condition. The heat, rain, and humidity of summer can cause different types of maintenance problems in your Mercedes-Benz car.
Here are the top types of Mercedes-Benz service that your car needs in the summer.
Oil and Filter Change
Intense weather conditions of any kind, whether heat, cold, or rain, can put extra demands on your oil and your oil filter. Oil works to keep your car’s engine parts lubricated while the filter captures harmful debris, dirt, and metal fragments that have gotten into the oil system.
Fluid Level Inspection
Whether you drive a Mercedes-Benz GLC, a Mercedes-Benz E Class, or another model, seasonal weather changes can lead to low transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and windshield wiper fluid. One particular fluid to pay attention to in the summer is coolant, as the most common cause for summer breakdowns is engine overheating.
Tire Check
Fluctuations in temperature can cause tire pressure to fluctuate, which is completely normal. During your summer maintenance check, our mechanics will ensure that your car’s tires are properly inflated and have enough tread.
Alignment Check
If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel vibrates, or your steering wheel isn’t centered while driving, your car is likely out of alignment. Wheel alignment can help extend the life of your tires, make for a smoother ride, and even save you money on gas.
