You'll enjoy summer in the Fort Wayne area much more with a cool interior and reliable engine when the temperatures soar. Heat has a way of exacerbating issues that were already borderline in the first place. That's why the basis of all summer car preparation is keeping things cool, whether it's your cabin, your engine, or your tires.
Beating the Heat
You certainly don't want to face a day of driving around South Bend with a broken air conditioner. If your cabin doesn't stay cool, it may be as simple a fix, or you may have a more complex issue at play. An AC inspection will locate the source of trouble, and a summer of crisp, cool air is only a quick repair away.
Keeping a Grip on Things
Your tires can handle most weather, but as the temperatures rise on the asphalt around Toledo, even your all-weather treads will have trouble maintaining their grip. Summer tires are made with a sturdier rubber, offering better summer driving traction. It's also important to keep your tires properly inflated, as under-inflated tires drag and create friction, heating your tire even more.
Staying Cool Under Pressure
The last thing any driver wants to do is break down in the summer. You can confidently drive the roads of Indianapolis if you've had an engine inspection that includes a battery strength test. Your battery relies on a chemical reaction to produce power, and that reaction speeds up in the heat, causing your battery to burn out quicker. An inspection will catch a failing battery as well as low coolant, splitting hoses, fraying belts, and torn gaskets that could all bring you to an unplanned stop.
