What German Car Maintenance Is Important for Summertime?

What German Car Maintenance Is Important for Summertime?

    With summer approaching, it’s time to get your German vehicle ready for the hotter season. Join clients from Richmond, Short Pump, The West End, and The Fan District who choose the auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue for auto repair services. Just because the frigid temperatures have disappeared, it doesn’t mean your car’s prepared for the elements. Extreme heat can be just as damaging as the harsh cold. Luckily, with a bit of preparation, you can be sure your vehicle is running smoothly and safely all summer. Here are some helpful auto repair tips from the team at Bimmer rescue to prepare you and your car for the warmer days and nights.   Check your oil: Oil keeps your engine lubricated, which lessens friction and heat buildup under your hood. Your engine is more likely to overheat in the summer, so it's going to be in need of lubrication. It's best to get an oil change every 5,000 miles or so. While you're at it, check all your fluids t ... read more
