Beat the battery heat
The warmer weather can take a toll on your vehicle, impacting everything from the tyres to the car battery.
Before hitting the road, this summer make sure your car is in top-notch condition. Remember to book in a service and have your mechanic conduct a thorough inspection, including a battery test.
Extreme temperature is a major cause of battery failure, so if you have battery trouble, it's likely that it will need replacing. It can impact the crucial fluids inside the battery, potentially weakening the internal structure.
