When the temperatures rise, so do the demands on your vehicle. While the Lower Mainland isn’t famous for scorching heat, summer can still create challenges that impact performance, comfort, and safety. That’s where Hudson Auto’s Summer Auto Maintenance in Langley comes in.
We want to share 3 key ways hot weather can put your car to the test—and how regular maintenance can help.
3 Ways Summer Can Create Challenges for Your Vehicle
1. Engine Cooling System Strain
Your engine runs hot year-round, but summer heat adds extra pressure to your cooling system. If your radiator, coolant levels, or hoses aren’t in top shape, overheating becomes a real risk. Regular checks can prevent breakdowns and keep you moving, even during warm-weather traffic jams.
2. A/C System Overload
On hot days, your car’s air conditioning works overtime. That extra strain can wear down components or reveal hidden issues like refrigerant leaks or a faulty compressor. Much like your home A/C, your vehicle’s system needs annual service to maintain performance and avoid costly repairs.
3. Wear on Belts and Hoses
Heat accelerates wear on rubber belts and hoses, making them more prone to cracking or breaking. Left unchecked, these failures can lead to roadside emergencies. Summer inspections help catch early signs of wear before they turn into major problems.
