While we never really get a break from the heat here in Florida, the summer season certainly turns things up a notch when it comes to soaring temperatures and humidity. This time of year, it is extra important to take good care of your BMW to help you stay cool. Here at Fields BMW Lakeland, we will make sure your car is perfectly ready and able to conquer the summer season without a hitch.

There are several risks that come with hot temperatures for your vehicle. For one, the last thing you want when you’re getting in your vehicle during a hot day is to experience more heat. During heat waves, it’s worth it to go out of your way to park in the shade or to keep your car in the garage to keep it cool. Reflective windshield visors are also good to have on hand to divert sun rays. These not only help maintain a moderate temperature in the cabin, but also prevent your leather seats from drying out and cracking. 

It’s also important to make sure your air conditioning is in good condition before the weather gets too hot. You can swing by our BMW service center near Winter Haven, FL to get your vehicle inspected, including your air conditioning system. We will also be sure to check on your supply of coolant to avoid damage to your car’s engine. Another important thing to look out for during the summer is your car battery. Hot weather can cause sulfation, which means your car battery will need to be replaced. In our auto service center, we will also test the battery's charge and clean off any corrosion.
