Summer Car Care in Columbia, SC: How To Prepare Your BMW or Lexus For The Heat

At Brown Motor Works Northeast, we understand the intricacies of European vehicles. Your BMW or Lexus is a testament to engineering excellence, and proper maintenance is key to ensuring optimal performance, especially during Columbia's hot summer months.

1. Air Conditioning Performance

A fully functional A/C system is essential for comfort during summer drives. If you notice reduced cooling efficiency or unusual noises, it's time for an inspection. Our ASE-certified technicians can assess your system for leaks, refrigerant levels, and overall performance to keep you cool on the road.

2. Cooling System Check

Your vehicle's cooling system prevents the engine from overheating. We'll inspect the radiator, hoses, and coolant levels to ensure everything is in top condition, reducing the risk of breakdowns in the heat.

3. Battery Health

High temperatures can affect battery performance. We'll test your battery's charge and inspect for corrosion to ensure reliable starts throughout the summer.

4. Tire Inspection

Proper tire pressure and tread depth are crucial for safety. We'll check for uneven wear, proper inflation, and overall tire health to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

5. Fluid Levels

We'll check and top off all essential fluids, including:

  • Engine Oil
     

  • Brake Fluid
     

  • Transmission Fluid
     

  • Power Steering Fluid
     

  • Windshield Washer Fluid
     

Maintaining proper fluid levels ensures your vehicle operates smoothly and efficiently.

6. Air Filter Replacement

A clean air filter improves engine performance and fuel efficiency. We'll inspect and replace your air filter if necessary, ensuring your engine breathes clean air.

7. Wiper Blades and Lights

Clear visibility is vital. We'll check your wiper blades for wear and ensure all lights are functioning correctly, keeping you safe during summer storms and nighttime driving.
