With summer in full swing in Kelowna, it’s the perfect time to give your vehicle a little extra attention. Hot weather, road trips, and dusty conditions on Okanagan roads can take a toll on your car’s performance. At Car Craft Automotive, we want to make sure your vehicle runs smoothly and safely all season long. Here’s a simple checklist to help you get summer-ready.
1. Air Conditioning System Check
If your A/C is blowing warm air or making strange noises, it could be a sign of low refrigerant or a faulty compressor. We’ll inspect and recharge your system, so you stay cool on the road.
2. Cooling System Service
An overheating engine is one of the most common summer breakdowns. We’ll check coolant levels, inspect hoses for leaks, and make sure your radiator is doing its job.
3. Tire Inspection & Rotation
High pavement temperatures can increase tire wear. Let us inspect tread depth, air pressure, and rotate your tires to extend their life and improve fuel efficiency.
4. Battery Test
Heat affects battery performance just as much as cold does. A quick battery test can prevent unexpected failure when you need your car most.
5. Oil & Fluid Check
Oil, transmission, brake, and windshield washer fluids all need to be topped up or changed regularly—especially in extreme temperatures.
6. Wiper Blades & Lights
Dust and glare can affect visibility. We’ll make sure your wipers, and your headlights and brake lights are all in great working condition.
