Prepare Your Lexus for Summer Travel near Charleston, SC

With the summer season approaching, Charleston is bound to see rising temperatures, warmer asphalt, and more intense UV rays. However, it also brings with it a spike in outdoor events, such as farmers' markets and boat tours. Before the fun begins, we at Hilton Head Lexus recommend that you visit us to make sure that your IS 350, RX 350, or TX 500h is ready for summer travel. Use the guide below as a checklist to see if there are any items for you to tend to!

Windshield Wiper Check

If there’s anything that the summer brings with it, it’s quite a lot of rainfall. While those wetter days can feel like a respite after a heatwave, you’ll want to make sure that windshield wipers overdue for replacement don’t impede your travels to the Nathaniel Russell House Museum. One telling sign that they need to be swapped out for a new set is if they leave behind streaks during their fixed swiping motion. Sometimes this can be due to a film of debris on the blade itself, but other instances may indicate that the rubber is worn out. If it’s coupled with squeaking during their operation, consider purchasing a new pair.

Tire Inspection

Not only can the rubber on wiper blades degrade, but the same end result can happen to your Lexus model’s tires during warmer weather. The combination of hotter pavement and increased travel can result in the premature wear of your tires, so it’s best to have a member of our Service Department inspect them to make sure they’re ready for the months ahead. It’s often the case that the tire’s tread is already cracked and worn after a colder winter, making it paramount to have a look at them. Even though replacement summer tires are a sound investment, sometimes a simple tire rotation is all that your NX 350 or UX 300h will need to be all set for the time being.

Emergency Checklist

It’s always important to have a list of emergency supplies in your vehicle’s trunk, but you’ll want to make sure you adjust some of the items for the upcoming summer to be fully prepared. For example, carry an extra supply of water bottles so that you’re not without a fresh source in the event of a sudden car breakdown. On that note, a spare set of jumper cables will also prove to be useful if a car happens to experience a mechanical failure like this on a major highway near the Mitchell Playground. But, in the event that you don’t have them on hand but do have a resource you can call with your mobile device, having a portable charger ready will ensure that you don’t have to resort to asking a stranger to borrow their smartphone in case yours runs out of battery.

“ I recently purchased a new showroom ready, Lexus vehicle from Lexus Hilton Head dealership , Hardeeville, SC. Everyone was extremly welcoming and professional, from the Receptionist, Manger's, Finacial services and Communications. This was my second purchase from this dealership. This was a smooth transaction with zero high pressure. The team ensured that I purchased the car that I wanted and not the car they were trying to sale. They really exceeded my expectations. Maria H. the sales consultant, Matt O. the Finance manager and Walter H. Sales Manager all were so amazing exceeding my expectations. The following day Maria even took the time to check on me, ensuring that I was still happy with my purchase. ”
