If you’re not familiar with the term “summerizing,” you’re not alone. A lot of motorists aren’t quite sure what that funny sounding word means so we thought we’d explain its meaning and some of the things summerizing entails.
Just like winterizing is the process used to prepare a vehicle for winter, summerizing is the process to get a car ready for summer. The first step in summerizing your automobile is to tend to your tires. If you installed winter tires when you winterized your car, now is the time to replace them with summer or all-season tires. You should also check the air pressure in your tires, including your spare if your vehicle has one. If your tires aren’t inflated properly, it may increase the chances you’ll experience a blowout.
Many drivers use their windshield wipers and wiper fluid to de-ice their windshield during the winter. Doing this can drain your supply of fluid and expose your wipers to excessive wear and tear. If you used your wipers and wiper fluid to de-ice your windshield, examine your wipers and check your wiper fluid supply. If your wipers are cracked or they leave streaks, you’ll need to replace them. If your wiper fluid supply is low, refill your reservoir. If you don’t have wiper fluid and a spare set of wipers on hand, you can order them from our Owensboro, KY Mazda parts center.
