N Charlotte Toyota service can keep your car running through the heat! 

The first thing to remember when it comes to protecting your N Charlotte Toyota from heat is to schedule routine auto service. Our techs will check out elements like: 
  • Your car tires, to ensure they have enough tread and inflation to handle hot pavement, summer rainstorms, and wet roads. 
  • Your oil, to make sure the reservoir is clean and full so your engine stays lubricated no matter how hot it is outside
  • Your coolant system – they'll check to ensure you have enough coolant and all of the hoses are in good condition so you don't face an overheated engine 
  • Your car battery, to make sure it's not swelling or cracking in the heat 
  • Your air-conditioning, so you can stay cool and comfortable all summer in your new Toyota 
And more! 

Protect your N Charlotte Toyota from heat with DIY steps! 

However, there are steps you can take at home to protect your N Charlotte Toyota from the sweltering summer heat. Here are some DIY tips you can do from the comfort of your own garage: 
Wash and wax your N Charlotte Toyota regularly! This will get rid of dirt, debris, and dead bugs that can harm the paint, and the wax will act as a barrier between your paint and the strong summer sun. 
Try to park your N Charlotte Toyota in a covered parking area, or at least under shade. Direct exposure to sunlight can lessen the life of the paint and also fade the interior of your ride! 
Use a sunshade in the dash of your N Charlotte Toyota, too! This will protect the interior from the sun and also help to keep temperatures inside the cabin a bit cooler. 
Crack your windows! Cracking your windows a bit will help to let some of the hot air escape your car. This will make it cooler when you go climb into it later – but remember to keep an eye on the weather and roll those windows up if rain rolls in! 
Condition your N Charlotte Toyota’s leather seats, and invest in seat covers! This will help protect your seats from the sun even more, and prevent cracking in leather and SofTex trims. 
Consider tinting your windows – this will ward off some of the sun’s UV rays and also help to protect the interior. You’ll notice quite a difference in temperature, too!
