Beat The Summer Heat!

 Whether you’ve been diligent with year-round maintenance or need to catch up, we can get your car in tip-top shape for summer adventures. Here’s your essential summer car care checklist:

Shine Up Your Ride: It’s summer! Look your best with a sparkling clean car. Don’t forget to wash the tyres and give the interior a good detailing – a grime-free car is a happy car!

Stay Cool with Optimal Air Conditioning: Don’t get stuck in hot traffic with a failing AC. If you notice something not quite right, schedule a check-up with Bartlett Automotive’s experts. Often, a simple fix like a new filter, or some added refrigerant will keep your AC reliable.

Top Up Those Fluids: Just like your body needs hydration, your car needs its fluids topped up. Schedule an oil change to ensure all fluids (coolant, power steering, transmission, brake) are at optimal levels before your summer road trip.

Tyre Time: It’s easy to overlook tyres, but they’re crucial! While washing your car, check tyre pressure, tread depth, and for any uneven wear. Uneven wear means it’s time for a check of your geometry, or a rotation of the tyres.

Battery Check: Hot days and blasting out the cold AC put extra strain on your battery. Don’t get stranded in the heat! Bartlett Automotive can check your battery health before you head out.

Don’t Forget Your Brakes: They’re vital for safety, yet often neglected. Just like breathing, we don’t think about them until there’s a problem. Get your brakes checked during your next oil change at Bartlett Automotive.

Alignment Check: Potholes and bumps happen. If you hit one and your car pulls to one side, get a wheel alignment check at Bartlett Automotive. Driving straight shouldn’t be a struggle!

Clear View, Clear Drive: Summer roads can be buggy! Ensure clear vision with fresh windshield wiper fluid and functioning wiper blades. Streaking blades, or ones which jump on the screen? Replace them for a safe and clear view.
