🍂 Tech Tip Tuesday: Fall Is Here — Don’t Let Mice Make Your Vehicle Their Home! 🐭🔧
As temperatures start to drop, mice, squirrels, and other small animals look for warm, sheltered places to hide — and your vehicle can become the perfect spot.
They can build nests in the engine bay, air box, cabin filter area, or even behind the dash. Worse, rodents may chew wiring, hoses, insulation, and connectors, which can lead to warning lights, electrical problems, poor running, or even a no-start condition.
A few simple steps can help:
• Keep food, bird seed, and pet food away from where you park
• Keep garages and storage areas clean
• Check under the hood if your vehicle sits for long periods
• Watch for leaves, acorns, nesting material, or chewed wiring
• Check your air filter and cabin filter for signs of rodents
If your vehicle suddenly develops electrical problems after sitting, rodent damage could be the reason.
At Roy’s Auto Sales & Service, we can inspect your vehicle for signs of animal damage before a small issue turns into a bigger repair.
