Summer Car Care Safety Tips

It’s summer once again. The merciless sun is hovering not only on our skins and pores, but the sun’s wrath is also affecting our beaten and battered cars. Much as we would care for ourselves this summer, our vehicles should also receive the same protection from the sun. Here are basic summer car safety tips to help our vehicles weather it out through the cruel summer months.

1. Don’t leave your car under the sweltering sun. This is especially important from 10 am to 3 pm, when the sun is at its shining peak. Much like a human being, excessive sun exposure will took a toll on both the inner workings of the car, especially the engine. Too much heat also seeps into the wind shields, generating heat in the car’s exteriors and lending the peripherals vulnerable to damage caused by change in humidity. Always park under the shade and try to position your car where the sun shines on your passenger side.

2. Invest in a good window taint or shade. This is to mitigate the effects of harsh sunlight not only on your car but also on you and your passengers. Just be sure that the heaviness of the tint complies with the laws your state has. Tinted windows primarily protect your car’s dashboard, which is very sensitive to heat. You can use window shades and light blockers instead of window tint to protect the interior of your car.

3. Equip your car with a handy car summer kit. Just like ladies have their personal effects kit, cars should also have some kind of a kit that will make them ready and able to take you through endless summer roads. Ensure that you have these car summer essentials when you go on a long summer drive: water supply, steering wheel cover, extra rugs and utility swathes, a cooler or insulated bag, extra fan, spritzer, and of course, a first-aid kit for you and your passengers. Just make sure you don’t overload your car!

4. For the best summer car care this season, have your car thoroughly checked by a professional mechanic to ensure engines, body and peripherals are at par with the prevailing summer temperature.
