The weather is heating up in Little Rock and that has evoked dreams of summer. Whether you are thinking of taking a trip to your summer camp to do some fishing, or you want to explore some of the nature around the state parks, chances are you are going to be relying on your vehicle. While your car has led you through a great spring, you're going to want to take care of some summer car maintenance needs before you travel so that trend continues. The service center at McLarty Volvo Cars of Little Rock, located at 1500 North Shackleford Road in Little Rock, AR, is the place to get all that car maintenance done. Here are five auto services you should have done before you hit the road.

Change Your Oil

Oil changes are vital to the continued high-performance of your engine. Without clean oil, your engine could suffer a loss of performance, and be at high risk for failure, because of a buildup of dirt, sludge, and other particles. Regular oil changes keep your engine well-lubricated and humming along as it should.

Windshield Wipers

Imagine driving along one hot, humid Little Rock afternoon when the skies begin to open and there is a torrential downpour. Is that the time to realize that you should have changed those old wiper blades? Putting on new wiper blades is a great way to make sure that you have the ability to see through your windshield when it starts to rain.

Battery Inspection

The heart of your vehicle is the battery. Without the battery, your vehicle isn't going anywhere. After the spring season, it would be prudent to have our service center do an inspection on your battery to make sure that it is holding a charge and won't leave you stranded when you are on your travels.

Check Your Brakes

Another thing our service center can do for you is to inspect your braking system to make sure that your vehicle will be capable of bringing you to a swift and safe stop. If you are running on worn brake pads, rotors, or calipers, we will change them for you.

Tires

It is a good idea to change your tires over to your summer tires, if you haven't already, or check for uneven wear-and-tear. Our service center can also make sure that you have the proper tire pressure before you head out on your adventures.
