Is Your Car Ready for Summer?
Summer is in full swing. While you’re out gardening, fishing, boating, or enjoying the state parks, your car feels the heat, too. Here are a few ways the heat may be affecting your car, and what you need to know:
Battery: Like the cold in winter, temperature can really impact the health of your battery. The heat causes fluids to evaporate and empty quickly, leaving you hot and dry with a dead battery.
Belts, Hoses, and Cooling Systems: Exposure to heat can result in cracks in your belts and hoses, which can quickly lead to your engine overheating or your radiator failing.
AC System: You never rely on your air conditioning more than on a hot day. Don’t wait until it’s too late to make sure your fluids are topped off and your systems are up to date.
