With the hot summer weather right around the corner, it's important to make sure that your car's air conditioning (A/C) system is running efficiently. Not only will it keep you cool and comfortable on the road, but it can also save you money on fuel costs. Here are some tips on how to keep your car's A/C running efficiently in hot weather: Park in the shade: When possible, park your car in the shade to keep it cooler and reduce the strain on your A/C system. If shade isn't available, consider using a sunshade to block the sun's rays from entering your car.

Car batteries are just like ordinary batteries you can buy at a store, but they are bigger and can be charged. They are used to power every component that needs electricity and also play a key role in the engine. Fuel injectors and spark plugs use electricity to operate, which makes the battery that much more important. That's why you should know a couple of the warning signs it gives before completely failing. Here are five of them and why they occur: 1. Dim Interior And Exterior Lights Your headlights are powered directly and only by the battery. If you notice that they're dimmer than usual, it's most certainly because of the battery. Not enough power equals a lack of performance and lighting. Make sure to visit a mechanic so you can stay safe on the road. 2. Car Doesn't Start While the battery doesn't directly ignite the fuel in your engine, it provides power to the components that do. The starter, spark plugs, and fuel injec ... read more

Your car needs fluid flushes because, over time, the fluids in your vehicle's various systems can become contaminated with dirt, debris, and other contaminants that can cause them to break down or become less effective at doing their job.
