Tips to Beat the Heat In Bozeman

Keep the interior as cool as possible. To help keep the interior of your vehicle from getting ruined during the summer months, avoid parking in the sun for too long and if you can’t avoid it, try putting some towels or blankets over your seats, dashboard and steering wheel to help protect them from sun and heat damage.
Make sure your tires are properly inflated. The right amount of air pressure in your tires is very important for many reasons. If your tires do not have the proper amount of pressure they can wear out faster and even blowout when you least expect it which can be very dangerous if you are on the highway when it happens. To be on the safe side, be sure to keep your tires inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended levels.
Make sure your fluids are topped off. Having fresh oil in your vehicle when it’s hot is important, but having the proper amount of engine coolant is even more important if you want to make sure that your car doesn’t overheat while driving.
