Pop Quiz: What kills a car battery faster? The freezing cold or the baking heat? ❄️🔥

The Answer: Most people guess winter, but summer heat is actually the real battery killer! 🔋❌ Extreme under-hood temperatures cause the liquid electrolytes inside your battery to evaporate, accelerating internal corrosion. A battery that was struggling a bit aho will often completely give up during the summer.

When you drive through a swarm of bugs, your windshield isn’t the only thing taking a hit—your radiator grille is acting like a giant net! Your radiator relies on a steady stream of fresh air flowing through to keep your engine from overheating in the summer. If your grille and radiator get completely caked in bugs, dirt, etc., it can act like a blanket, causing your engine temperatures to climb.

The Fix: Next time you're washing the car, use a hose to give your front grille a thorough spray from the inside out to clear debris.

If your temperature gauge has been creeping up lately, swing by the shop and we’ll check your cooling system airflow!

Inside your car, June temperatures can skyrocket to dangerous levels in just a few minutes! If you want to keep your interior looking brand new, it’s time to take a few simple precautions.

According to the article, these are some highly effective, low-cost tricks to shield your cabin from brutal UV rays:

1️⃣ Condition Your Leather: The sun's heat quickly dries out leather, causing it to crack and fade. A quality conditioner keeps it soft and moisturized.
2️⃣ Use a Windshield Sunshade: It's the absolute best way to block direct sunlight from baking your steering wheel and dashboard.
3️⃣ Seek out the Shade: Whenever you can, look for a parking spot under a tree or building overhang to keep internal temps down.
