It’s Heat Awareness Day, and on extremely hot days the temperature inside your car can get deadly! When left out in heat for extended periods of time, your (idle) car’s internal temperature can skyrocket. For example, if it’s 80° F outside —

After 20 minutes, your car’s internal temperature will be 109° F
After 40 minutes, your car’s internal temperature will be 118° F
After 60 Minutes, your car’s internal temperature will be 123° F

Beat the heat this summer! Stay hydrated, wear lightweight and light-colored loose clothing, and stay cool in the A/C. If your car’s air conditioning isn’t getting as cold as it should be, or is taking too long to cool your car down, stop by AA Muffler & Brakes! We’ll inspect your car’s air conditioning unit and get you back on the road — cool as a cucumber.
