Summer Car Care: Belts & Hoses

Summer officially begins tomorrow, which means temperatures will continue to rise and so will the stress on your vehicle. New England Jiffy Lube has your back this summer and is here to help get you and your car through the upcoming hot summer days. Over the next few weeks, this blog will be highlighting summer car care tips to help get you through summer. First up on our list: Belts & Hoses.
 
The focus during summer driving should be on keeping the engine cool. Simple preventative maintenance to your belts and hoses can keep you on the road running strong all summer long. Belts and hoses keep your vehicle’s cooling system running, your battery recharging, and your air conditioning flowing.

Make sure to inspect your belts and hoses for cracks, leaks, and loose connections. Also make sure to feel all the hoses and belts to make sure they are firm and not soft and squishy. If you notice any of these problems, replace the worn out belt or hose immediately.


If you need help, drive on in to your nearest New England Jiffy Lube location. Our certified technicians will check your hoses and belts as part of the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change and also offer a Serpentine Belt Replacement service. Keep your vehicle cool with New England Jiffy Lube.
