| With temperatures soaring back near 90 degrees, PennDOT is reminding motorists of the importance of preparing your vehicle for the rigors of summer driving. To make sure your vehicle is in top condition, motorists should have a mechanic they trust perform a service check. A properly trained mechanic will inspect the battery, belt, hoses, air conditioning system and tires to address any potential problems before they cause a breakdown. There are also a few things that drivers can do on their own to help ensure fewer vehicle-related problems this summer, such as regularly checking tire air pressure and tread wear, replacing wiper blades that are frayed or streaking, & checking the pavement under the vehicle after it has been parked & report any suspicious fluid leaks to your mechanic.
