7 Car Parts to Pay Attention to During Hot Summer Days

Car maintenance during hot summer days mainly aims to bring comfort to both the driver and passengers in the car.

However, many auto centers and garages take advantage of this by replacing or repairing unnecessary parts or falsely reporting damages… Therefore, Gara Đức Anh would like to let you know the top 7 parts that need focused care during hot summer days.

Car air conditioning maintenance – Cooling for the summer

Regular care and maintenance of the car air conditioner is one of the first things you must do as summer just “knocks on the door.” It is truly uncomfortable if your car air conditioner is not cool, not cooling deeply, or similar issues.

The air conditioning system is extremely important for cars, especially in the summer..

For problems such as dirt and dust, you can clean them yourself in many ways, such as blowing dust from the air filter or cleaning the vents… However, for larger and more complicated car air conditioner failures, you will need to go to an auto garage to completely solve this difficult problem.

Check engine oil earlier than the scheduled interval

This probably doesn’t need much reminder. You surely already understand that the lifespan of engine oil depends on the frequency of use of your car and the environmental temperature, so the summer heat of 40–50°C will greatly affect this. Proactively checking and changing engine oil earlier will ensure smooth operation of your beloved car.

Check and replace engine oil at the right time to keep the car in good condition.

Check car coolant

Just like people need to drink beverages, coolant is like a bottle of refreshment for your beloved car. If you own a car, you surely understand the importance of coolant. So make sure to regularly check, top up, or replace coolant when it expires.

Check the car brake system

Brake fluid aging on hot days is inevitable. This negatively affects the brake system. Therefore, you need to check to ensure maximum brake safety. Avoid unfortunate situations that may occur.

Car interior also needs attention

You might think that the interior is inside the car, so what impact could it have? Many customers are surprised when technicians explain this, because they previously thought “what’s so important about it?” However, in the summer, when cars are parked in places without a roof, or even with a roof, the cabin temperature is very high. This can even cause significant damage to the interior. Therefore, regularly maintaining leather interiors and sunshades will partly help protect against climate-induced wear on your car’s interior.

Wash the car regularly

Under the intense heat of summer days at 39–40°C, a huge amount of oxidation affects the car’s body, making your paintwork suffer. Therefore, washing the exterior regularly helps reduce heat, repair small scratches, and save you considerable repainting costs. Taking care of the car body will truly make your car look beautiful in everyone’s eyes.

Check car tires

In the relatively harsh temperatures of the North, especially in Hanoi, both over-inflation and under-inflation are extremely troublesome. Minor issues may cause tire blowouts, wasting your time. Serious ones may cause accidents. There have been many such cases on highways, so no need to mention further. Therefore, always remember to keep your tires at the standard pressure.
