Don’t Leave Pets in Your Car in Hot Weather!

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Osceola Garage

A pet can be a great companion when traveling in your car. But please, don’t leave your pet in the car while parked, especially on hot summer days. Despite repeated media warnings, each year pets are left inside hot vehicle, putting the animal at risk, even death.

Even with the windows left open, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise very quickly, creating a potentially fatal condition for your pet. A dog or a cat’s temperature is higher than humans and the temperature inside a car can rise to 150 degrees or higher in a matter of minutes. It doesn’t take long for heat to dilate blood vessels, shutdown organs and even clot blood.

Also, make sure your pet has enough water on hot days. If you are traveling somewhere that does not allow pets, it’s better to leave your pet at home.

Extreme Summer Heat Can Cause Battery Failure

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Osceola Garage

Summer’s extreme heat can destroy a vehicle’s battery. Car batteries should be tested periodically and replaced, if necessary, to avoid being stranded. Excessive heat and overcharging shortens the life of a battery. Batteries fail as often in the extreme summer heat as during the cold winter months. If your battery is more than 4 years old, it may need to be replaced.

In additional to inspecting and testing your battery, the charging system should also be tested. The battery cables should be inspected for corrosion. Any corrosion should be cleaned.

When replacing the battery, follow all manufacturer guidelines and procedures. Also, install the correct battery that’s designed for your vehicle. Just because a battery fits in your car, it does not mean it’s the correct battery for your car.

After the battery is installed, retest the charging system to insure that the alternator and voltage regulator are working correctly. Battery and charging system specifications can be found in the factory manual. If you are not sure how to test the battery and/or charging system, your auto service professional will be glad to help.
