Get DirectionsThe Arizona Heat in the summer months can be dangerous to your car, including the Green Valley, AZ area. Sun damage can diminish the appearance of your car and require additional work that you were not anticipating beneath the hood. Below are tips to minimize sun damage throughout your car and keep your car looking new while you own it.
Keep Your Car Washed and Waxed
Frequently washing your car and waxing it can protect the paint from long-term sun damage. The wax is used as a layer of protection from the sun and prevents paint cracking from temperatures that regularly exceed 100 degrees.
Top Off Those Reservoirs
All fluids beneath the hood of your car are essential for an operating system. They also carry the chance of evaporation, especially is extreme heat areas. Make sure that all of your fluid reservoirs are topped off to ensure that your car will continue to operate properly in these extreme temperatures.
How’s the Battery?
With the air conditioning set at its highest temperature for several months, maintaining that system, as well as standard operations can be stressful on your car battery. Have it checked out before the summer months roll in to ensure that it is properly operating.
Keep That Interior Cool
Any time you have the option to park your car under shelter, take advantage of these garages at home, in your complex parking area, and any garages at work. If you do not have access, make sure that you purchase a window visor to deflect the heat out of your vehicle, maintaining the internal temperature.
