Minus the occasional hurricane, the weather in Florida is pretty stellar all year long. There’s a reason people venture here from all over the world, especially in months like January or February, months that are cold and icy in most of the rest of the country. Knowing that the weather stays relatively constant, the concept of “summer car care” might come off as a little silly, but let’s not kid ourselves. Florida is nice all year round, but it is legitimately hot in the summer, and that can have some adverse effects on your new and pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
For starters, summer is a great time to inspect your tire tread, no matter the temperature. Summer rains can be brutal here, and if your tires are even remotely balding it can cause issues with traction on the road. Our car service department here at Fields Motorcars can check that for you and offer high-quality, affordable replacements if necessary.
Next, we’d strongly recommend getting a car wash. Grimy windshields can cause serious visibility issues in the blinding summer sunlight, and a quick car wash is all you have to do to keep that from being more of a problem than it needs to be.
Finally, scheduling regular maintenance appointments will keep your car in great shape for the summer. Warmer weather means it’s time for a switch to full synthetic oil, and the service departments at Florida Mercedes-Benz dealerships are best equipped to make that change for you before a long road trip.
If you’d like any of these things done or have any questions about your summer service schedule, give us a call or stop by any time. We’ll be happy to keep your vehicle in great shape this summer driving season!
