Is there anything like a classic American road trip? Simple answer: no. At the surface it's pure fun-filled adventure with your closest friends or family members. Dig a little deeper, however, and there's a lot that goes into executing the perfect summer road trip, and a lot of it boils down to your vehicle. Before you take the wheel of your BMW vehicle and hit the open road, there's a few things you'll want to do to ensure that you're ready for success.

First things first, you'll want to check and change your oil and fluids, which include everything from getting your oil changed to getting your brakes and transmission fluid checked.

In the summer months, especially right here in Saint Petersburg, Florida, you'll also want to make sure your air conditioner is in tip top shape. If your air conditioner isn't performing at the best of its ability, the lack of precious cold air could be caused by a leak, loose hose or clogged expansion tube -- all of which can be remedied in the right hands.

If you need an oil changed, someone to check your fluids and your AC, our factory-trained technicians at our BMW auto service center would be happy to help. To schedule a service appointment, contact our team at (855) 799-0973.
