Why Summer Car Care is Critical in San Rafael
The hot California sun and increased driving during summer can put significant stress on your vehicle’s engine, cooling system, tires, and more. Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to breakdowns, overheating, and costly repairs — especially when you’re miles away from home or stuck in Marin County traffic.

Top Tune-Up and Maintenance Services for Summer
At Easy Automotive, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive summer tune-up to address these critical areas:
1. Cooling System Inspection and Service
The cooling system prevents your engine from overheating. Summer heat makes it work harder, so it’s important to:
●Check coolant levels and quality
●Inspect radiator, hoses, and water pump for leaks or damage
●Flush and replace coolant if necessary
A well-maintained cooling system protects your engine and prevents expensive overheating repairs.
2. Air Conditioning System Check
A functioning A/C is a must-have in Marin County’s warm summer months. We inspect refrigerant levels, compressor function, and cabin filters to keep you cool and comfortable.
3. Oil Change and Engine Tune-Up
Heat and stop-and-go summer traffic put stress on your engine oil. Regular oil changes with high-quality oil help lubricate engine parts and reduce wear.
●Replace spark plugs
●Inspect ignition system
●Clean fuel injectors
●Replace air and fuel filters
These services improve engine efficiency, fuel economy, and prevent breakdowns.
4. Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires bear the brunt of summer heat and longer trips. We check:
●Tire pressure and tread depth
●Signs of uneven wear or damage
●Rotate tires to extend tread life
●Recommend replacement if necessary
Proper tire care improves safety, handling, and gas mileage.
5. Brake System Inspection
Summer road trips mean more braking. We inspect brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure reliable stopping power.
6. Battery and Electrical System Check
Heat can accelerate battery wear. We test battery health, clean terminals, and check alternator function to prevent unexpected failures.
