Certified Center
We’re in the heart of road trip season here in North Carolina, and whether your ideal journey is into the mountains, to the ocean, or to a new city, preparing your BMW car is essential. Here at BMW of Asheville, our certified BMW technicians have compiled a helpful checklist of BMW maintenance and prep items. This is what you should do before your summer road trip.
Essential Mechanical and Fluid Checks
Road trips, especially in summer heat, demand that your BMW car’s systems be in top shape. We’ll check the following during your service appointment:
- Tires: Check pressure in all tires and inspect tread depth to ensure that you have optimal grip for rainstorms on windy roads.
- Fluids: Ensure that your engine oil is fresh and at the right level. This includes coolant to prevent overheating and windshield wiper fluid to ensure that you’re ready to handle rain.
- Brakes: We’ll complete an inspection of the brake pads, rotors, and fluid level to ensure confident stopping power.
Comfort and Visibility
To make sure that everybody is comfortable and safe on your road trip, we’ll test your air conditioning to make sure that it’s blowing cold air. We’ll also inspect wiper blades for any cracking or streaking and check all exterior lights to ensure that they are functioning perfectly.
Interior and Exterior Cleaning
Cleaning your BMW car before a trip does more than just improve its looks. An exterior wash and wax helps protect your paint from sun exposure and makes removing road tar easier after your trip. Finally, a clean interior creates a more enjoyable environment for everybody on the trip, and a clear windshield improves visibility.
