Summer Maintenance Tips

A/C System Inspection

An A/C malfunction can be extremely frustrating. To avoid such a situation, we recommend allowing our technicians to perform a comprehensive A/C inspection service. We will check and fix any air filters, refrigerant pressure, blower fan, vents, and other parts of the HVAC system.

Cooling System Inspection

The function of the cooling system is to absorb excess heat from the engine and dissipate it to the surroundings. The cooling system consists of several components to complete this function, including the engine coolant fluid, radiator, water pump, and more. A single malfunctioning part of the cooling system can compromise the system, resulting in overheating of the engine.

Tire Inspection

The tires need to be in good condition for the safe operation, fuel efficiency, and enjoyable driving of your vehicle. During summer, the inflated pressure can get high, leading to an increased risk of a tire blowout. The tire tread can also behave differently in higher temperatures. We can replace the tires or perform certain tire services to improve the condition of the tires.

Battery Test

A battery test can reveal issues with the battery but a complete battery system inspection is recommended so the tires, terminals, alternator, and other battery are also inspected. This will make sure the battery system is ready for summer.

Lights Inspection

Lights inspection includes checking the headlights, high beams, taillights, and turn signals to check if any replacement or repair service is required. We carry all types of OEM parts at Volkswagen of Kingston.

Engine Performance

The engine is one of the most important systems of your vehicle. To ensure it is in optimum condition for your summer road trip, we will check the engine oil, filters, spark plugs, PCV valve, and other parts. We recommend you have a regular engine oil change and other recommended engine services on time to damage the engine.
