Dive in with us as we explore the most recommended summer car maintenance tips, and be sure to schedule an appointment for service at Subaru of North Tampa today.

Our Favorite Summer Maintenance Tips

Here is our highly recommended car maintenance checklist for summer:

Oil Change
An essential service that should be performed roughly every 3,000 miles (on conventional oil), this vital maintenance service helps protect your engine during the hottest months of the year.

Car Battery
Summer's heat can be harsh on your car's battery. High ambient temperatures can rapidly accelerate battery degradation and cause a weak battery to completely fail. We recommend performing a battery test before summer to ensure that your battery is up for the task this year.

Windshield Wipers
Summers in Florida can bring tropical storms and other wet weather. Summer's heat can cause your windshield wipers to dry out and not perform as well as they should. We recommend replacing before summer to ensure that you always have the best visibility.

Tire Service
Your tires are responsible for providing a sure grip to the road. However, summer temperatures can affect your tire pressure and the overall handling of your vehicle. We recommend performing a tire tread depth check as well as a tire pressure check to ensure that your tires are in good health before the summer season arrives.

Cooling System
The high temps from summer can cause your vehicle to overheat if your cooling system hasn't been serviced in a while. If it's been more than three years or 36,000 miles since your last coolant flush, we recommend scheduling an appointment for a fluid flush.
