Planning a summer escape? Whether you’re cruising down I-45 or heading off the grid, making sure your vehicle is road-trip ready is just as important as packing your sunscreen. At Pegasus Chevrolet, we’ve got your back with expert tips and services to keep your ride cool, safe, and adventure-ready.
Stay Cool—Inside and Under the Hood
Texas heat doesn’t mess around, and neither should your AC. If your cabin feels more like a sauna than a sanctuary, it might be time for a recharge or filter replacement. Weak airflow, funky smells, or lukewarm air are signs your system needs attention. Our certified techs can inspect and service your AC so you stay chill behind the wheel.
And don’t forget your engine—it hates overheating as much as you do. Coolant levels should be checked regularly, and a flush may be due depending on your vehicle’s age and mileage. We’ll also inspect hoses, the radiator, and the cooling fan to make sure everything’s leak-free and functioning properly.
Tire Check: Grip, Pressure, and Rotation
Hot pavement can be brutal on tires. Before you hit the road, check your tread depth using the penny test—if Lincoln’s head is fully visible, it’s time for replacements. Look out for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.
Pro tip: rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles helps extend their life and improve handling. If you’re unsure, swing by Pegasus Chevrolet and we’ll take care of it.
Fluids Matter—Don’t Let Your Car Run Dry
Your vehicle depends on a cocktail of fluids to run smoothly. In addition to coolant, make sure these are topped off:
- Engine oil – Change it every 5,000–7,500 miles or as recommended by your manufacturer.
- Brake fluid – Crucial for safe stopping.
- Transmission fluid – Keeps gear shifts smooth.
- Power steering fluid – Helps you steer with ease.
- Windshield washer fluid – Because bugs happen.
Low levels can lead to big problems, so let our team check and refill them during your visit.
