As the summer continues, a lot of vehicles will be on the roads. They could be going to the beach or visiting friends or family for a summer barbeque. No matter what you have planned, it’s good to know that your vehicle is in good condition and free of car issues for all of that summer traveling.
At Village Autoworks, we want all of our customers to have a safe, healthy summer. Our mechanics in Woodbury want you to know that there are some common car issues that you should prevent this summer. These are the issues that you do not want to deal with when the weather gets crazy hot.
Here are some of the car issues that tend to happen in the summer months:
Flat tires
Flat tires can happen at any time or any place. However, the summer is usually the time of year where you’ll see this happen more often. Check your tires regularly for any cracks or surface damage.
It would also be wise to check the tire pressure regularly, especially because the road temperature can be more than 50 degrees hotter than the air. Hot pavement can and will lead to tires gaining air pressure and potentially popping while driving.
Village Autoworks offers the best auto repair services near you. You should also consider getting your tires inspected and serviced as part of our preventative maintenance service. We offer tire checks, AC checks, and the whole nine yards.
AC trouble
Sitting in a hot car while battling bumper-to-bumper traffic is not only an uncomfortable idea, but it can be dangerous. You will also risk heat-related illnesses that could be fatal.
Village Autoworks believes that when it comes to driving safely, it also means making sure that your vehicle is in working order. Especially the air conditioning system.
If we notice any problems with the AC during your inspection, we’ll repair or replace any needed parts. We also offer a 5 year/50,000 warranty and financing options for your convenience. We hold our customers to a high standard and don’t want to saddle you with a financial burden that you can’t pay in one go.
Dead battery
A dead battery is not the kind of thing you want to deal with. The sweltering heat may even shorten the battery’s longevity if you don’t keep an eye on it. Before the summer hits, you should test the battery to see if it can handle the summer heat.
Also, if the battery appears to have less power than usual, you might want to get it replaced. Besides, a freshly powered battery will last you a long time. And it can sustain much more heat than one that has been used for quite a while now.
