The summer solstice will be here soon, so it won't be long before we can officially say that summer has arrived. That means that now is the perfect time to schedule summer maintenance for your Volkswagen vehicle here at Riverhead Bay Volkswagen. Our state-of-the-art VW service center serving Smithtown and Coram offers a wide variety of seasonal maintenance items to help you ensure that your Volkswagen vehicle is in prime condition for warmer weather and fun in the sun. Take a look at some of our recommended summer services to see what our dealership can do to help you keep your car running smoothly.
Air Filter Checks
Checking your car's air filters helps to ensure that your car performs better and is a more pleasant place to be as you set out on your summer journeys. The two filters that you need to pay attention to are the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. The engine air filter helps to prevent dust and debris from getting into your engine, which helps it perform more efficiently. The cabin air filter does largely the same thing, trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne particles that can make the interior of your vehicle miserable in summer.
We can inspect your air filters and replace them if necessary.
Battery Check
Extreme temperatures can sap your battery's strength, so scheduling a battery inspection to prepare for summer is always a good idea. The last thing you want is to end up stuck with a dead battery when you have a fun summer getaway planned. Signs that your battery needs attention include dim headlights and trouble starting your engine, so be sure to keep an eye out for these common warning signs.
If it turns out that your battery is due for replacement, we can fit your Volkswagen vehicle with a fresh one here at our service center.
Air Conditioning Check
As temperatures start to soar in the Sayville area, you're likely to want to crank your air conditioning. You'd be surprised at how quickly a fun summer excursion can turn into a hot and sticky nightmare if your air conditioning isn't working properly, so we highly recommend bringing your Volkswagen vehicle in for an air conditioning check. If you've noticed anything off about your air conditioning, such as weak airflow or trouble cooling, be sure to get in touch with us here at our VFW service center so that we can fix it for you before your next summer road trip.
Tire Check
Now is a good time to check your tires and to make sure that they are in good shape for your various adventures. You'll want to make sure that they have adequate tread and proper air pressure. Hot temperatures can cause the air pressure in your tires to rise, so be sure to check your tires periodically to ensure that their air pressure is not too high.
