Vehicles spend more effort, especially in winter, due to difficult season transitions. In this period, when the brakes and pads are worn more, the wear of the tires due to cold weather should also be taken into consideration. For this reason, during the transition from winter to summer, vehicles should be completely checked and vehicle maintenance is very important for both longevity and safe travel of the users.

What is Vehicle Care?

 A vehicle maintenance is primarily routine vehicle maintenance within certain kilometers. For example, 10,000 km maintenance of a car is divided into 20,000 maintenance and 50,000 km maintenance. In vehicle maintenance, there are many factors such as engine oil changes, timing belt changes, brake and pads changes or controls, rod and balance adjustments, tire changes.

 Vehicle maintenance must be carried out by authorized services. In particular, if the vehicles under warranty are maintained outside of their own authorized services, they may be out of warranty in case of any negative situation that may occur afterwards.

 There are a number of vehicle maintenance routines that should be done when entering the summer months. In this context, it is necessary to examine the titles in detail.

 Tire Checks and Changes

 The geography of a country and the seasonal transitions of that country differ from each other. For this reason, especially in geographies with harsh winter months, winter tires should be installed on vehicles or snow tires should be applied when entering the winter. In the winter months, there may be wear on the tires due to heavy snow and rain, or the steering becomes heavy due to the decrease in pressure. For this reason, tire checks should be made when going from winter to summer and all-season tires should be applied.

 Brake System Controls in Vehicles

 The brake system is the most important safety part of a vehicle. It is important to stop the vehicle in the right time possible by using the brake system where it should be and the vehicles going fast. In cases such as the brake system is broken or the brake fluids are low, the brake linings wear out, the risk of an accident will increase considerably. During summer vehicle maintenance by authorized services, pad renewal and brake system control are provided.

 Engine Maintenance

 Engine maintenance of vehicles should be done periodically. It is the main body material that takes the vehicle by taking its power from the fuel tank with the engine induction system. Engine oils must be changed during periodic maintenance.

 Vehicle Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems

The air conditioning system of the vehicles is responsible for the cabin heating and cooling systems of the vehicles. In this context, the systematic controls of air conditioners and the renewal of air conditioner gas are especially important for human health. Cleaning the air conditioner receptors is very important for the destruction of bacteria. It should be cleaned periodically on average annually.

Filter Changes

 It is important to clean and change the fuel filters of the vehicles. Especially due to its support to the carburetor, the fuel economy of a clean filter will increase as much. For this reason, if a change is requested by the authorized service according to the condition of the filters in certain periods, approval should be given. Because air filter cleaning is important. As clean air does not reach the engine due to a dirty and clogged filter, it will cause the engine to malfunction.

 What is the Importance of Car Maintenance before Going on Vacation in Summer?

 Summer vacation is among the holidays where people can travel long distances and even change countries. For this reason, it is very important that the basic maintenance of the vehicles is done completely before going on a long journey. Care should be taken to make vehicle insurances other than vehicle maintenance, and to ensure that vehicle inspections are complete. In order for the tires to perform on the roads on long roads, it is necessary to completely overhaul the tire controls and replace them with new tires if necessary.

 In case of an emergency, it should be shown that the crowbar, jack, spare wheel and first aid kits are complete. Vehicle exterior cleaning should be given importance. The controls of the wheels and balance settings of the vehicles are directly proportional to the controls of the tires. In this context, it is important that the steering wheel does not become heavy and the tires are not overloaded.

 Batteries are parts of vehicles that provide electrical current. The operation of the headlights, climate control, active media player, and the functioning of the interior parts of all vehicles with the automatic system depend on the health of the battery. If the batteries of the vehicles are to be checked individually, some rules must be followed.

  - Battery fluid is acidic. So bare hands and bareThe battery should not be changed visually. Glasses and gloves must be used.

 - It is important to brush the battery terminals and cable heads with a wire brush. Thus, oxidation will be prevented.

 -The battery covers should be opened and the liquid inside should be controlled. Battery fluid consists of pure water. For this reason, if there is a shortage of pure water, it should be added.

 What is Vehicle Inspection?

Vehicle inspection is a type of inspection carried out by TÜVTÜRK to ensure that vehicles that have reached a certain age are not inconvenienced in traffic. Considering the vehicle inspection periods, it is a legal obligation to carry out vehicle inspections of all vehicles over the age of 3 every 2 years. Vehicle inspections are carried out by making an online appointment from the internet TÜVTÜRK website with the appointment system. In this context, it is registered in the license as a result of the inspection. Thus, the safe driving of vehicles, especially those that will go on long journeys, is ensured.

 Vehicle maintenance should not be confused with vehicle inspection. Vehicle maintenance periods are provided by authorized services. Vehicles whose warranty has expired are maintained by reliable vehicle services and the necessary parts are supplied.
