☀️ Summer Heat + Your Car = Pay Attention! ☀️

As temps rise, so does the risk of vehicle trouble. Here are a few simple tips to help you and your car stay safe in the heat:

🚗 Check Your Coolant: Make sure your engine has the right level and mix — it’s your car’s #1 defense against overheating.

🔋 Watch Your Battery: Extreme heat can drain battery life fast. Keep an eye out for slow starts or corroded terminals.

🛞 Monitor Tire Pressure: Heat causes air to expand — overinflated tires can be dangerous. Check pressures often!

🧊 Test the A/C: If your air conditioning isn’t blowing cold, don’t wait — it won’t fix itself when you're stuck in traffic.

🚘 Never Leave Kids or Pets in the Car — not even for a minute. The interior can heat up by 20°+ in just 10 minutes.

Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy the ride!

We pulled this out of a customers car during a routine check! 😵‍💫

🚗💨 When’s the last time you checked your cabin air filter?
If you’ve got allergies, musty smells in your car, or your defroster isn’t cutting it — your cabin air filter might be the problem!

🛑 A dirty filter can cause:
❌ Poor air quality
❌ Weak heat & A/C
❌ Stale, dusty smells
❌ Foggy windows that won’t clear up

✅ A quick check or change can make a big difference. Breathe easier, drive happier.

📍 Stop by Elmwood Auto Care — we’ll check it during your next visit!

🌼 Is Your Car Sneezing This Spring?

Pollen season is here—and it’s not just affecting your allergies. Your cabin air filter can get clogged with dust, pollen, and debris, making the air inside your car musty and full of allergens.

Signs you might need a new filter:
✅ Musty smell when you turn on the AC
✅ Weak airflow through your vents
✅ More sneezing or allergy symptoms while driving

A quick filter change can make a huge difference in your comfort and air quality!

💡 Pro Tip: Give your car a good wash and wax to protect the paint from that yellow pollen dust too.

Stop by the shop and let us help you breathe easier this spring!
