It’s easy to miss the changing of the seasons here in Jacksonville, but warming weather and dry conditions can still put wear on your car. Take care of these Lexus maintenance tasks at Lexus of Orange Park to have a headstart on summer driving challenges. With a quick pit stop, you’ll be ready to enjoy your warm-weather drive all the way through fall.
Check Your Brakes
When spring rain makes roads slippery, you’ll want to make sure your brakes are at the top of their game. In addition, while brake fluid will rarely freeze here in Florida, if your car has been out in a sudden cold snap or if you took a winter trip up north, you may have thickened brake fluid or rust in your brake lines. Have our team make sure your stopping system is ready for a year of driving adventure.
Wheel Alignment
Even when it doesn’t mean snow and ice, cold weather produces potholes that love to knock your wheels out of alignment. When your tires aren’t all perfectly aligned, not only do you have less control over your car, but you won’t enjoy the premium Lexus ride our drivers value. Summer heat and hot roads can make misaligned tires perform even worse, so spring is the perfect time to get them working as a team again.
Oil Changes
When Florida starts to heat up, your engine oil quickly starts to react. Three-digit temperatures makes engine oil evaporate quickly, and because oil is essential to keeping your engine cool, this can create a vicious cycle that will lead to your engine overheating or running without oil. You should get an oil change this spring, but continue to check it through the summer to avoid an expensive repair.
