Protecting Your Car from Summer Heat Damage
AAA warns drivers to check their car batteries before hitting the road this summer as excessive heat can drain batteries and cause internal issues, leading to a shortened lifespan. AAA also reports an uptick in tire blowouts during the summer due to underinflated tires creating extra friction on hot pavement. Drivers should have their batteries checked by a trusted mechanic if they are over three years old and look for signs of corrosion.
