- Air Conditioning
A marginally operating system will fail in hot weather. Have the system examined by a qualified technician. - Cooling System
The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. - Brakes
If your summer weather pattern includes thunderstorms and rain, you will want to inspect your brakes because wet brakes can be less responsive.
- Towing
Towing a boat, camper, or trailer is common in the summertime. Before you hook on and drive off for a vacation destination, though, make sure you have inspected your car and trailer. - Belts
Check the engine belts by turning them sideways with your hand so you can see the friction surface. If they’re at all ragged, torn, cracked or showing the fiber cords, it’s time for fresh ones. - Battery
While rough starting conditions are associated with winter, summer actually can be more demanding on your battery.http://www.consumerautopartsonline.com/
