The summer months are upon us, and in Las Vegas, that means it's time to brace for the heat. As much as you need to prepare yourself for the soaring temperatures, your car also needs some extra attention, particularly if it's a European model.
Cars are like people - they perform best when they are well-cared for and their needs are met. This is even more important when you're dealing with European vehicles, which are renowned for their precision engineering and high performance. To keep them at their peak, it's vital to be aware of the particular maintenance requirements they have, especially during the hot summer months.
Air Conditioning Checkup
First on the list is your air conditioning. The last thing you want in the sweltering Las Vegas heat is for your car’s air conditioning to fail. European cars often have complex HVAC systems that require expert attention, so it's important to have them checked regularly. At CARS, we offer comprehensive AC system checks, ensuring your car will keep you cool all summer long.
Tire Inspections
Heat can have a significant impact on your tire pressure, causing it to increase and potentially leading to a blowout. In summer, it's crucial to check your tire pressure regularly and adjust it as needed. European cars often come with tire pressure monitoring systems, but it's still a good idea to have them manually checked for any signs of wear or damage. At CARS, we can perform these checks and also provide advice on the best tires for coping with high temperatures.
Coolant System Checks
Your car's coolant system is essential to prevent overheating in the engine, and this is particularly important in summer. The coolant system in European cars is designed for high performance, but that also means it requires high-quality coolant and regular maintenance. We can check your coolant level and quality, ensuring it's ready to take on the Las Vegas heat.
Oil Change
Finally, the summer months might mean it's time for an oil change. The oil in your car ensures that all moving parts of the engine are lubricated and work smoothly. However, high temperatures can cause oil to thin out, reducing its effectiveness. European cars often require specific types of oil, so it's essential to use the right kind. Our team at CARS can not only change your oil but also ensure that the correct oil is used for your specific model.

Preparing your European car for the summer is an essential part of vehicle maintenance. By ensuring that your air conditioning, tires, coolant system, and engine oil are in top condition, you can enjoy the summer without worrying about your car.
