THE HEAT IS ON!!

Ahhhh the summer time is full of fun and exciting memories. Beach trips, family barbeque's, camping excursions, weekend baseball games, and beautiful evening drives to nowhere! You want to go out and enjoy all the hot sun and gorgeous weather as much as you can.

With summer being the busiest time of the year, it can also be the costliest. The last thing you need is for your car to break down and ruin your weekend plans.

With summer only officially a week away, we have come up with 5 way to prepare your car for summer!

1. MAKE SURE YOUR AC SYSTEM IS IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION
Sometimes stepping into your car on a hot summer day can feel like you jumped into a pool of lava. Make sure your air conditioning system is in top working shape to keep you cool and comfortable. The best time to check your A/C is before the summer, that way you can make sure it';s ready on those unbearable days. You can schedule a test of you air conditioning system here.    

2. REPLACE YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES 
The winter and spring are far behind, in your rear view mirror. But what about what's in front of you? Over the past few months you have been using your wiper blades almost every day. that is a lot of wear and tear! to make sure you have the best vision all the time, make sure you change your wiper blades twice a year. Once in the Summer and again in the winter. you can find your wiper blades from our parts department here. 

3. CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURES 
One of the most important points to keep your car rolling along is to check your tires pressure. Over time, your tires experience a lot. Fluctuating temperatures (Especially here in Canada), different road surfaces providing a great amount of wear and tear. The pressure in your tires is affected greatly by all of this and more. It is important to check you tire pressure regularly to maintain even wear on the tires, improve your fuel economy,  and decreases your chance of a flat tire ruining your trip.

4. WAX ON, WAX OFF
Grab a bucket, some soap, and a sponge. It's time to get dirty! Over the winter months gunk and junk and build up on your car. Give your car a good sponge bath and a coat of wax or two. Make that paint shine like the day you picked your car up from us here at Guelph Nissan! Make it a family event and maybe have a water fight?
Grab your vacuum and tackle the inside of you car, You'd be surprised how much spare change you will find hidden in your car!

5. LOAD UP YOUR MUSIC PLAYER WITH YOUR FAVORITE TUNES
Family road trip? Going to the beach for the day? Make sure your Infiniti Music Box or Ipod is full of all your favorite tunes to keep you smiling and carefree as you cruise to your destination!

There you have it! Follow these steps to make sure your summer adventures are worry free and livin' easy!
