Summer in St. Augustine is the perfect time to hit the highway on a road trip. Your Cadillac car is the ideal vehicle for the journey, but in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, it’s important to follow a pre-departure checklist. Before you set out on your road trip, consider this guide to pre-road trip Cadillac maintenance from the experts at Fields Cadillac St. Augustine.
Engine Maintenance Tips
Long highway drives, especially those in the Florida heat, demand a healthy engine. We’ll first complete an oil change to ensure that the engine is properly lubricated and protected. Next, we’ll top off all vital fluids, including the coolant, to prevent engine overheating. The summer heat can also be tough on your car’s battery. A quick test can confirm that the battery is strong enough for the road trip.
Tire and Brake Maintenance
The advanced handling and braking systems on your Cadillac should be in top shape for your summer road trip. We’ll first inspect your tire pressure and tread depth in order to ensure that your vehicle is safe and achieving its ideal fuel efficiency. We’ll also complete a thorough inspection of the brake pads and rotors in order to ensure that you have the proper, responsive stopping capability that you need.
Comfortable and Clean
Starting out with a clean vehicle is key to an enjoyable journey. A thorough exterior wash and wax protects the paint from the sun, prevents corrosion, and makes it easier to clean off those pesky insects on your windshield.. Meanwhile, a clean interior creates a more relaxing environment. Finally, we’ll ensure that your A/C system is blowing cold air so you don’t get stuck feeling the heat.
