Smart Summer Car Care Tips from Carrollwood Aamco!

Summer is family vacation time, but nothing can deflate a road trip like a car breaking down on a hot afternoon. Vacation disasters like these can be avoided with careful routine maintenance. When it comes to summer car tips or any of our car needs, we trust the experience of Mark Woodward with Carrollwood AAMCO. In fact, Woodward’scar care advice is the absolute BEST, as in AAMCO’s “B.E.S.T. Practices”, which he’s outlined here for us.

Battery: prevent failure by replacing a car battery that’s over five years old. But the high temperatures in Florida make for an even shorter battery life.

Engine Oil: Increase mileage by up to two percent by using the manufacturer’s recommended grade of oil during suggested oil change intervals.

Service: Improve mileage by up to 10 percent on simple fixes and up to 40 percent by addressing any major unperformed scheduled maintenance or mechanical issues, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Tires: Enhance gas mileage by up to three percent by properly inflating tires to the manufacturer’s specification.
These four simple points are simple, but vital. Following these B.E.S.T. practices will ensure that your summer vacation is not rudely interrupted by a malfunctioning car.
