When you're driving in the summer months, you might notice that it feels like there is an added strain on your vehicle. This is often because high temperatures play a factor in how well your battery functions. The heat can begin to decrease the voltage in the battery, which can make it difficult to start or hold a charge.

Land Rover Roaring Fork can test your battery each year to determine if there is still enough charge left for another summer season or if it might need to be replaced. Most batteries will last about three to five years…

Winter tires can effectively keep you safe while you're driving on a wintry road, but did you know that driving with winter tires all year long can actually be a bad idea? Designed strictly for the cold temperatures and winter weather, winter tires should be swapped out for summer or all-season tires. Here's why:

• Winter tires are designed for temperatures that are below freezing. Hot temperatures could compromise their integrity.
• You could end up with uneven tread wear if you're driving your winter tires all year. This could shorten the life expectancy of your tires.

Detailing your car is hard enough, but when you've got a pet that leaves fur on your upholstery every time you travel with them, it creates a whole new challenge. Head off the worst of the mess by brushing your pet just before you leave to get rid of extra fur.

Keep your pet inside a crate while they travel or lay a protective cover over the seat to keep the fur from embedding itself into the fabric. You can thoroughly vacuum your seats using a fur attachment on your vacuum, and if you've still got fur, try…

You want your vehicle to run well for a long time. One of the easiest ways to accomplish that is to maintain your radiator and cooling system. Engine combustion temperatures can reach 2000 degrees or higher, so it is crucial to make sure it is protected from overheating.

Two components to have checked for replacement are the thermostat and water pump. The thermostat keeps your car's engine at the right temperature while the water pump pumps coolant into the engine block. Many times, when one fails the other will soon need replacing. 

Our team here at Land Rover Roaring Fork wants you to know how to care for your vehicle so it can serve you longer. Washing your car often can preserve its beauty and protect it from exterior damage.

If you have splattered insects on your vehicle, you'll want to wash your vehicle at least once a week. The longer the insect is stuck to the car, the harder it will be to remove without damage to its paint.  

With the spring weather finally here, it's time to think about your car maintenance needs. Take a look at your owner's manual and see if it is time for any scheduled maintenance. Bring your car in to a mechanic for a tune up, get your fluids topped off, and have your car checked for safety.
