The monsoon season is almost here and with that, it marks the end of the summer season. This also marks the end of the soaring high temperature during the summer and paves the way to cool breezes and rain.
While this may seem like a relief, your car may not feel the same way unless you take care of your car. As such, here are 5 end of summer car care tips.
Tyres are often overlooked by most car users. During summer, the extreme temperatures might have caused additional wear and tear on the tyres. As such, it is best to check the tyres before taking them through the tricky monsoon season.
Wipers and washers are very rarely used during the summer season and most of the time wiper blades are exposed to direct sun rays. Since wiper blades are made of rubber, they could have got somewhat hard and brittle due to exposure to the sun.
This affects the performance of wiper blades and leads to poor visibility during rain. As such, it is best to check the wiper blades and working of washers by the end of summer.
Since AC would have been extensively used during the summer season, it is best to check the AC before heading into the monsoon season. Also, checking the heater and defogger could be very helpful for the fast-approaching monsoon season.
Whether it is summer or monsoon, the brakes of a car should be checked periodically. However, the brakes must be given extra care ahead of the monsoon season due to reduced traction. If necessary, changing the worn-out brake pads and brake rotors will improve the braking performance of the car.
Checking your car for leaks before the monsoon season is very essential as any leaks can be disastrous during monsoon. Also, the end of summer is the best season to identify any rusting and rectify it. Otherwise, the rusting will be accelerated during the monsoon season.
After the summer season, it is best to check the condition of your car due to additional wear and tear during the summer season. Following the above tips also ensures a better driving experience during the monsoon season as well.
