Spraggins Auto Repair

Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. 👀

These are just a few of the before-and-after examples our technicians see in the shop.

Worn parts, deteriorated components, and contaminated fluids aren't always easy to recognize from behind the driver's seat. That's one reason regular inspections and maintenance matter. Our technicians can spot what you may not be able to see and help you understand what your vehicle needs.

Take a look through the photos, and if you can't remember the last time your vehicle had a thorough check-over, this might be your sign.

☀️ The Texas Heat Vehicle Checklist wraps up today!

We've covered some of the bigger things that help keep your vehicle ready for East Texas heat. For the final check, we're looking at two simple things that are easy to overlook.

Today's check:

☐ Wiper Blades
Summer in East Texas doesn't just bring heat. Sudden storms can roll in quickly. If your wipers are leaving streaks, skipping across the windshield, or not clearing water like they should, it may be time for a replacement.

☐ Vehicle Walk-Around
Before you head out, take a quick look around your vehicle. Check for low tires, fluid spots underneath, damaged lights, or anything that looks different than normal. Sometimes catching a small issue early can prevent a bigger headache later.

A few minutes of checking today can help you stay ahead of unexpected repairs.

☀️ The Texas Heat Vehicle Checklist continues!

East Texas heat doesn't just affect the parts of your vehicle you can see. It also puts extra stress on the components working hard under the hood.

Today's check:

☐ Oil Condition
Your engine works hard during those hot Texas days. Take a moment to check your oil level and make sure you're staying on schedule with oil changes. Clean oil helps protect the engine and keeps important parts working properly.

☐ Belts & Hoses
Belts and hoses are made of rubber, and extreme temperatures can cause them to become worn, cracked, or weakened over time. A quick look under the hood can help catch signs of wear before a small issue turns into a bigger problem.

A quick check today could help prevent an unexpected repair tomorrow.

☀️ The Texas Heat Vehicle Checklist continues!

East Texas heat doesn't just affect your engine. It can also put extra stress on your battery and tires.

Today's check:

☐ Battery Health
Many people think cold weather is the biggest threat to a battery, but extreme heat can shorten battery life too. Take a look for corrosion around the terminals, and pay attention if your vehicle is slow to start or sounds different when you turn the key.

☐ Tire Pressure
Before you hit the road, take a moment to check your tire pressure. Driving and hot pavement naturally increase tire temperature and can change the pressure reading. Proper tire pressure helps your tires perform the way they should during those hot summer days.

A quick check today could help prevent an unexpected stop tomorrow.+

☀️ The Texas Heat Vehicle Checklist starts today!

East Texas summers put a lot of stress on your vehicle. Triple-digit temperatures, stop-and-go traffic, and long drives can push your vehicle's systems harder than usual.

Over the next few posts, we're sharing a few simple checks you can do to help keep your vehicle ready for the heat.

Today's check:

☐ Coolant Levels
Your cooling system works hard during those hot Texas days. Take a moment to check your coolant level when your engine is cool. A low level or signs of a leak are worth paying attention to before they turn into a bigger issue.

☐ A/C Performance
Your A/C should do more than just blow air. If your vehicle feels humid or muggy even when the A/C is running, or it isn't cooling like it used to, it may be time to have it checked.

A few minutes today can help prevent an uncomfortable surprise later.
