Gear Up Your Ride For Summer

With summer right around the corner, it's a great time for road trips and a number of other activities that will put the miles on your vehicle. From running the kids to sporting events to planning a family vacation, there are a number of reasons why you may be on the roadways more than normal. Your trusted car dealership in mid-MO is here to help you (and your ride) get ready for your summer travels. Here at Spieler's Inc. we know it's important to keep your car running well, especially during the busy summer months!

Change Oil

Double check your vehicle manual, but the majority of vehicles need the oil changed anywhere from 3,000 - 5,000 miles. When getting your oil changed, ensure your oil filter is replaced as well - this can help to remove dirt and grime that builds up inside your engine. For smooth travels this summer, be sure your oil is changed on a regular basis!

Check Cooling System

Your cooling system level, condition, and concentration should be checked on a regular basis, as well. This can help keep your vehicle running in tip top shape, especially during the hot summer months. With the excess heat, your vehicle works extra hard to run and it's important to keep the cooling system properly filled.

Think Cool Air

Before the temperature gets too much hotter, be sure your air conditioning system is up to par. Whether you're driving to and from work or on a long road trip, the lack of air conditioning can put a damper on your plans on a hot summers day. Here at Spieler's Inc., we offer an air conditioning system check which includes a refrigerant level fill and pressure test for only $44.00.

Replace Tires

It's important to keep your tires rotated on a regular basis. While we're talking about tires, be sure to inspect your tire wear on a regular basis. There should be more than 2/32 of an inch in your tire tread. If you are nearing this point, it's time to buy new tires.

Check Battery Charge

That last thing you want to experience in the hot summer months is a dead battery. Keep your battery charged up and double check it on a regular basis to ensure it is not running low. Before heading out on a long road trip, hook your battery up to a charger to make sure it has adequate charge to get you to and from your destination, and more!

Inspect Windshield Wipers

The summer heat brings about thunder storms on a regular basis. Be sure to take a close look at your windshield wipers before summer starts. Inspect the rubber for any cracks and rips. If you notice any signs of wear, it's time to replace your wipers for a clear view, while driving this summer.

You're now ready to ensure your ride is in tip top shape, before the summer travel season kicks off. Whether you're running to baseball games or taking a road trip out of the state, bring your ride in for regular maintenance and to ensure it's ready to handle all of your travel needs. Before you head out on your next trip, bring your ride by the best car dealership in California, Missouri! We'll get you fixed up and ready to take on your busy summer schedule!

Protect Your Paint This Summer

As summer nears closer, the temperature will continue to climb. With the increase in temperature comes the increase of potential damage to your car's paint and exterior. From caring for your car's exterior to protecting your paint, there are a number of ways to keep your paint in tip-top condition this summer. Your trusted car dealer in mid-MO knows how important it is to keep your car looking fresh, especially during the summer months. Take a look at the ways to protect your ride's exterior, provided below by Spieler's Inc.

Remove Any Debris

With a number of summer storms in our future, it's important to remove any debris from your vehicle in a timely manor. Whether it's pollen, leaves, or dust, these particles can bake onto your vehicle's paint in the heat of the summer and cause damage. Along with heat causing damage from debris, during a windy day or driving down the highway, these particles can scratch the surface of your vehicle as they blow around.

Wash, Wash, Wash

Keep your paint looking fresh and clean by washing it frequently. Especially if you park your vehicle outside, consider washing your ride more frequently to remove any grime and dirt that builds up throughout the day and overnight. Whether you wash your car at home or go to a local car wash, it's important to remove all dirt and grime from your paint's surface.

Dry Your Car

After your trip to the car wash (or your driveway), make sure you use a clean microfiber cloth to dry your paint off. This can help remove excess dirt and/or dust that remains on the surface that can cause scratches or imperfections to your car exterior.

Shine Up The Paint

A layer of wax on top of your car's finish can help protect it from debris scratches, as well as the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The sun's rays can lead to faded paint color and wear down the clear coat that protects your vehicle's exterior. Wax adds an additional buffer and helps to protect damage from the sun, especially in the summer months.

Keep an Eye on the Condition

As you drive your vehicle this summer, keep an eye on the paint to ensure damage does not proceed. To keep the condition of your paint in tip-top shape, address any issues that you notice happening, especially in the summer when heat and other elements can cause further damage to your paint.

You're now ready to start protecting the paint on your car to keep it shining all summer long! With these tips in hand, you can prepare your ride for the heat of summer, before it is upon us. If you're dreaming about a new ride to protect this summer, our dealership in California, MO is here for you! We have a wide selection of new and used vehicles, ideal for you and your family.

Provide Entertainment

Another important tip is to have entertainment for your children handy.

If you run out of ideas, you can always try to play the license plate game or alphabet game, as you drive to your destination.

Just like at home, your kids may tend to need a snack every few hours. Be sure to pack plenty of their favorites for your next road trip. From crackers to dried fruit, there are a number of easily portable snacks available. Along with snacks, make sure you have enough water for your trip, as well.

Allow Time For Stops

When you plan out your route, be sure to plan adequate time for plenty of stops. From bathroom breaks to stretching your legs, it's important to stop on a regular basis and let your kids get a little exercise. Many road side parks have a nice walking path, jungle gyms, and restrooms, ideal for your next road trip.

Strategically Pack

When packing your car, try to keep the comfort of your passengers in mind.  If space allows, keep all unnecessary bags in the truck or back of the vehicle. Also try to distribute the weight of your luggage and passengers evenly. This can help promote a smoother ride for all.

To make traveling with your furry friends a bit more convenient, the best car dealer in mid-MO has provided some tips below. Next time you load up your pets for a trip, consider the following tips!

Check Up

Before heading out on a long trip, it's important to ensure your pet's up to date on all medical requirements. Schedule a check up for your dog or cat, before hitting the road. This can help ensure they are in healthy condition to be traveling and exploring new places.

Don't Forget the Essentials

Ensure you pack enough food and treats for your furry friend. It can be an adjustment to change foods, if you don't bring the same kind from home. This may upset your pet's stomach. Also bring any toys or blankets that they are attached to. Bringing familiar items can help them become settled more quickly in their new surroundings, whether it be the car or your destination.

Leash & Collar

Your pet's leash & collar are important items to bring on your trip. Make sure your pets information and contact numbers are located on the collar, should your pet run off. Also make sure the leash is in good condition, to prevent a break.

Hydration

Water is vital to keep your pet hydrated and healthy. Keep plenty of water in your vehicle, when traveling with pets. To prevent dehydration, ensure your animals are drinking plenty of water, while road tripping.

Stop Often

Keep your pets active, even on a long road trip. This can be accomplished by making pit stops, often. Encourage your pets to go for a quick walk, go the bathroom, and get a drink, when you stop.

Never Leave Pets in Car Alone

Especially in the summer months, avoid leaving your pet in a car unattended. The heat inside your vehicle can creep up very quickly, to a dangerous level. To avoid overheating your pet, ensure they are cool enough in a vehicle, and don't leave them alone in the car, when traveling.
