While summer road trips are all about fun, they can be hard on your vehicle — the last thing you want to worry about on a trip is car issues. Between cleaning your car and getting routine service, you need to give your luxury vehicle some TLC before hitting the road. Mercedes-Benz of Asheville is outlining the Mercedes-Benz maintenance we recommend to protect your vehicle and ensure it’s ready to roam.
Change Your Engine Oil
Engine oil gets thick and dirty over time, so it can't work as effectively as it should. By changing your oil, you can safeguard your engine from severe damage. Plus, it makes your vehicle more fuel-efficient, reducing the strain on your engine and helping avoid excessive fuel expenses.
Rotate Your Tires
Your tires naturally wear down unevenly as you drive, which leaves you prone to flat tires. Rotating your tires can help to limit uneven tire. Plus, it’s helpful to have your tires inspected to make sure they have the recommended tire pressure and tread depth outlined by their manufacturer.
Clean Your Vehicle
A clean cabin isn’t just nice to look at. It also improves your air quality, which is important when you spend a lot of time in your vehicle. We also recommend cleaning your vehicle’s exterior, which helps to prevent rust and corrosion.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
Your windshield wipers are typically used a lot during a road trip, especially if you’re traveling to a rain-prone area, such as Miami. We recommend replacing your wipers to make sure they work properly in any conditions. You also should top off your windshield wiper fluid before you go to ensure clear vision for the roads ahead.
