☀️ Summer Car Check-Up: Keep Your Car Safe & Road-Ready in Preston

Written By Ibrahim Mansur

Is your car ready for summer?

As temperatures rise, your vehicle faces new challenges—from overheating engines to air conditioning failures. At Preston Autofix, we recommend a summer car check-up to keep you safe, cool, and stress-free on the road.

✅ Why a Summer Car Check-Up Is Important

Many drivers focus on winter prep—but summer brings its own risks:

  • Long drives can strain your engine.

  • Tyres wear faster on hot roads.

  • Battery issues and overheating are more common in warm weather.

Our summer vehicle health check ensures your car can handle long journeys, high temperatures, and holiday travel—especially if you’re driving across Lancashire or further.

🔍 What’s Included in a Summer Car Check at Preston Autofix?

Our summer check-up covers all the essentials:

🔧 1. Coolant & Overheating Prevention

We’ll check your coolant levels and system for leaks or blockages—critical to avoid engine overheating.

💨 2. Air Conditioning Inspection

Don’t suffer in the heat. We test your A/C performance and offer re-gassing if needed.

⚡ 3. Battery Test

Heat affects battery performance. We’ll test charge levels and terminals so you’re not stuck with a dead battery.

🚗 4. Tyre Condition & Pressure

We inspect tread depth, look for wear/cracks, and adjust pressures for summer road grip.

🛑 5. Brakes & Fluid Check

With longer journeys, brake safety is vital. We inspect pads, discs, and brake fluid condition.

🌧️ 6. Wipers & Washer Fluid

Sudden summer showers? We’ll make sure your visibility is clear and washer fluid topped up.
