Keep Cool With An A/C Check

Be sure to check if cold air is coming through the vents. If not, then you will want to visit our service center right away.

Perform A Complete Tire Inspection

Looking to go on a road trip this summer? A top summer road trip car prep tip is to have your tires checked out. Be sure to check your vehicle's tire pressure and inspect all tire treads. If you notice lots of tread wear on any of your tires, then you will want to have them replaced.

Be Sure Your Vehicle's Battery Is In Top Shape

You don't want to deal with a dead battery on the side of the road. Therefore, you will want to inspect your battery's power. Also, be sure to check your battery connectors for any signs of corrosion. Some signs of a weak battery include a clicking sound when you attempt to turn over the ignition and dim lights.

Make Sure Your Vehicle Doesn't Overheat

The South Florida summer can be a challenge for your vehicle. Therefore, you will want to make sure that your vehicle does not overheat at the worst possible time. Be sure to have your vehicle's cooling system checked. Also, check for any coolant leaks. Coolant leaks will appear as a lime green, pink or orange puddle under the vehicle.

Check Your Engine's Vital Parts

Make sure that your engine is in top shape. Check your engine filter and also take a look at your engine's spark plugs. If you notice that your engine is not performing up to its usual standard, then you will want to have one of our Volkswagen-trained technicians check it out.

Inspect Your Vehicle's Lights

Make sure that your vehicle's lights are in top shape. Be sure to check your vehicle's headlights, taillights, and fog lights.
