Sikeston, MO July 15, 2016 --[Nix Auto Repair](http://www.nixautorepair.com/) of Sikeston, Missouri warns drivers to check belts, tires, air conditioning, water pumps and hoses before vacation driving. With three months still remaining of extreme summer heat and families driving long distances for vacations, it is vitally important to check an automobiles critical components for safe operation. Winter weather is commonly thought of as more dangerous than clear, sunny summer daytime driving, but dont be fooled. According to the Insurance Institute August can be the most dangerous traveling month, past history shows that July and September each had over 2,900 fatal accidents.
Benji Nix, owner of Nix Auto Repair said, This is the time to have a good inspection of the tires as blowouts on well-worn tires easily lead to a potentially dangerous situation. Benji Nix said Sun and heat take a heavy toll on many components of your trusty car, batteries and hoses are especially vulnerable. By taking just a simple preventive step, drivers can be prepared and prevent a trip down blues highway and be safe and enjoy their trip much better. Benji went on to say Avoid the pain and we can check your tires on the ground as well as your spare, something most people forget to check. It couldnt be any easier while the car is here to inspect the engine, battery, hoses, belts and fluids for wear and proper levels. A few dollars up front can mean peace of mind and safe arrivals, as well as no costly on-the-road repairs and trip delays.
Jeremy Nix went on to say In some parts of the country, vehicle air conditioning isn't optional if you want to survive the drive home. Without it, drivers may be subjected to dangerously hot temperatures inside, so it's important to make sure your system is functioning properly. Of course, never leave pets or children alone in a car in the summer heat. Jeremy said The hot sun is tough on windshield wipers, but you'll still need them if you get caught in a summer down pour. Inspect and replace your windshield wipers if needed. Also,remember your engine oil, oil changes are important for year round maintenance, but clean oil is especially important during the summer. Oil helps your car prevent overheating, lubricating moving parts safely. Benji went on to say We are striving to become The Primary Care Mechanic for Sikeston and hope that these tips can make your vacation a fun experience.
