When it's time for you to hit the road and explore the best of what the Cincinnati area offers in the warm summer months, make sure you do so with peace of mind and confidence that your vehicle will perform well.

We're happy to help you prep, take care of maintenance, and make repairs when necessary.

Check Your Climate Control Functions

Make sure your air conditioning – and heat – works before you hit the road. Nobody wants to sweat it out on the way to your exciting summer vacation destination. If you're venturing into cooler climates – or possibly using your vehicle as a rest spot overnight – make sure the heat works, too.

Tire Inspection

Dayton drivers can get a lot of information from their tires. Check the date codes on the side to ensure they're new enough to handle all conditions. Tires older than six or seven years shouldn't be driven on. Tread depth is important, too – make sure your tires aren't smooth or showing cords anywhere. When in doubt, Jeff Wyler Fairfield Kia is happy to help Hamilton drivers hit the road with fresh rubber.

Check Coolant and Other Fluids

Checking your coolant is often as easy as opening the hood. Make sure your coolant levels are good so that your vehicle doesn't overheat. You should also check your oil or even just perform an oil change in advance if you're planning to drive long distances. Oil ensures your vehicle's engine stays well-lubricated and performs at its best on the roads in Middletown, OH, and beyond.
