Question 7986

Is it recommended to give the vehicle a tune-up after the summer vacation?

  1. Yes, especially if it has been in a beach area, because sand and salt can accelerate the appearance of corrosion spots on the bodywork.
  2. No, if it was done before the vacation period.
  3. It is only recommended to check the tire pressure if you have driven many kilometers.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, especially if it has been in a beach area, because sand and salt can accelerate the appearance of corrosion spots on the bodywork.

Yes. After long summer trips, you should have your car checked, even if you had it checked before leaving, because the tires, brakes, and shock absorbers experience more wear. If it has been near the beach, wash it thoroughly, including underneath. Sand and salt speed up corrosion of the body.
