Fall in Los Angeles doesn’t always mean cooler weather right away. With another heat wave pushing temperatures well into the 90s, staying cool and comfortable while you’re out on the road is still important.

A few simple precautions can make hot-weather driving a little easier.
And if your A/C or cooling system isn’t keeping up with the heat, give us a call and we’ll be happy to check it out.

Gas prices are getting painfully close to record territory again with the average now above $6.38 a gallon (LA County). When every fill-up costs this much, a few small things can help keep you from burning through a tank faster than necessary.

⛽ 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲
Low tires make your car work harder and use more fuel.

🚦 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗨𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰
Quick starts and hard braking can burn through gas faster.

🚗 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗜𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴
Sitting with the engine running still uses fuel, even when you’re not moving.

📦 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱
Clear out heavy items you’ve been carrying around but don’t need.

⚠️ 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀
Filling up more often than usual? Your car may be telling you something.

*** We can’t control gas prices, but we can help make sure your car isn’t using more fuel than it should. If your mileage has dropped or you’re due for maintenance, let us take a look.

Fall may not seem like an obvious seasonal change in Los Angeles, but the days are getting shorter and the busy holiday season will be here soon. Getting stranded with a car that won’t start can quickly throw off your day.

If your battery has been slow to start or you’re not sure how much life it has left, now is a good time to have it checked.

🍂 With the official start of fall tomorrow, it’s a good time to check some of the fluids that have been working through months of warmer weather. Here in Southern California, the temperatures may not change much right away, but regular fluid checks are important year-round.

🌡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁: Helps regulate engine temperature and prevent overheating.

🛞 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱: Helps keep steering smooth and responsive on vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering.

🛑 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱: Transfers the pressure needed for consistent braking and should be checked for proper level and condition.

⚙️ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱: Lubricates transmission components and helps support smooth, consistent shifting.

💦 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱: Keeps your windshield clear of everyday dust and grime and will come in handy when wetter weather eventually returns.

*** If you’re not sure when these fluids were last checked or serviced, our technicians can inspect their condition and let you know what your vehicle needs.

Los Angeles may not be feeling very fall-like yet, but after weeks of high temperatures and sun-baked pavement, the change of season is a good time to take a closer look at your tires.

Heat, freeway driving, and daily stop-and-go miles can contribute to tire wear that isn’t always obvious from the driver’s seat. Tread, sidewalls, wear patterns, and tire age can all tell you more about how your tires are holding up.

It may be hard to believe, especially with Los Angeles temperatures saying otherwise, but the official start of fall is just a week away! 🍂

With earlier sunsets ahead, headlights will be getting more use, and California requires them after dark. Headlights, brake lights, turn signals and other exterior lights help you see what’s ahead while making sure other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians can see you too.

Fall may be less than two weeks away, but Los Angeles clearly isn’t done with summer heat just yet. ☀️🍂 Around here, the seasonal change is usually more gradual. Hot afternoons can stick around well into fall, followed eventually by cooler mornings, our first rainy days, and maybe a mountain getaway once the snow arrives. ❄️

That makes now a good time to start getting your car ready for the months ahead. A little preparation can help you handle everything from slick roads after that first rain to cooler-weather drives.
