Did you know?

Extreme summer heat is actually harder on your car battery than the winter cold. High temps can evaporate internal battery fluids and speed up corrosion, leading to a "lazy" start or a dead battery when you least expect it.

Helpful Tip: If you notice your A/C isn't blowing as cold as it used to, or your engine temperature gauge is creeping up in traffic, don't wait! A quick cooling system flush or a battery check can save you from an expensive repair later this summer.

Stay cool out there! Need a check-up? Call the experts at A-1 Muffler & Service Center at (828) 324-2874.
