July 22, 2024The Impact of Prolonged Summer Heat on Your Car Battery
August 5, 2024As summer starts winding down and the back-to-school season approaches, it’s crucial to ensure that your vehicle is in good shape. At Christian’s Automotive, we know that a well-maintained car is essential for safe and efficient travel. Whether you’re driving the kids to school or heading to work, here are some critical components to check as you prepare for the new school year.
Tires and Brakes
Your tires and brakes are fundamental to your car’s safety and performance. Worn-out tires can lead to poor traction, especially on wet roads, while faulty brakes can compromise your ability to stop quickly in an emergency. Make sure to inspect your tires for tread depth and uneven wear and have your brakes checked by professionals to guarantee they are in optimal condition.
Cooling Systems and Air Conditioning
Hot summer days may be dwindling, but your car’s cooling system remains vital. As highlighted in our recent blog post, four primary cooling components require regular attention: the refrigerant, compressor, radiator coolant, and cooling hoses. Ensuring these components are in good working order will keep your engine and cabin cool, preventing overheating and promoting comfort.
Batteries and Alternators
A reliable battery and alternator are indispensable for your vehicle’s electrical system, especially during the busy school season. Our article from July 15th discusses the importance of maintaining these components. Regular checks can prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensure your car starts without any hitches every morning.
