Summer is here, and for many drivers in Valencia, CA, this means planning road trips across California and beyond. But before you hit the highway, it’s essential to ensure that your Lexus car is ready to handle some long miles. Here at Lexus of Valencia, our team of technicians recommends the following five types of Lexus service before your road trip.
Tire Inspection
Your tires keep your Lexus car connected to the road, and their condition is critical for tack-sharp handling and ensuring a safe journey. Before your road trip, we recommend an inspection of tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition, including uneven wear, cracks, or damage.
Fluid Check
Your Lexus car relies on several key fluids to run smoothly, efficiently, and safely. First, we’ll check the level and condition of your engine oil for proper lubrication during the hot summer weather. We’ll also ensure that the windshield wiper fluid is full enough to handle summer showers.
Battery Health Test
Summer heat can be demanding on a car battery, and a battery with low charge can fail when you least expect it. A quick and simple test of your battery health and your vehicle’s charging system can help prevent the major inconvenience of being stranded far from home.
Air Conditioning Performance Check
One of the last things you want on your summer road trip is for the A/C to break down. Our technicians will check the performance of the A/C to ensure that it’s blowing cold and strong.
Brake Test
Long drives, especially those in mountain terrain or with added passengers or luggage, can put extra demand on your brakes. We’ll do a comprehensive inspection of the brake pads, calipers, and fluid.
