If you are located in the Houston, Pasadena, Pearland, League City, and Friendswood, TX area, visit our service center to help get your vehicle ready for the summer.

Perform A Complete Tire Inspection

Your tires experience the most amount of wear on your vehicle due to the constant road contact. Therefore, you will want to check if your tires have the proper air pressure. Also, be sure to check the tire tread wear on the vehicle. Finally, check for any punctures or damage on the tire.

Perform an A/C System Inspection

You don’t want to spend the summer inside a hot car. Be sure to check your vehicle’s air conditioner to see if it’s still blowing cool air from the vents. If you have an issue with your vehicle’s air conditioner, schedule an appointment with our service center. We provide fast and affordable A/C system repair service and A/C recharge options.

Check The Vehicle’s Cooling System

You don’t want your vehicle to overheat during the summer. Be sure to check your vehicle’s cooling system and check for any coolant leaks. Coolant leaks will appear as lime green, pink or orange puddles under the front part of your vehicle. Finally, make sure that your vehicle has sufficient coolant levels.

Inspect Your Vehicle’s Battery

Don’t end up on the side of the road with a dead car battery. Be sure to check your vehicle’s lights to ensure that they are not dim while the vehicle is in operation. Also check for any corrosion on the battery connectors. If your battery is more than three or four years old, then contact our service center for fast and affordable battery replacement service.

Check The Vehicle’s Lights

Make sure that none of the lights on your vehicle are burnt out. All of the exterior lights on your vehicle are important not only for your visibility but also for others sharing the road with you.

Cabin And Engine Air Filters

Check your vehicle’s cabin air filter to ensure you have clean air coming into your cabin. Also, check your vehicle’s engine filter to ensure that your vehicle’s engine is protected from dirt and debris.
