When your vehicle is generally cool, it\u2019s comfortable. So, during the summer, park in the shade when possible and invest in a UV heat shield that keeps your vehicle&#8217;s interior as cool as possible between trips.<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the Oil in Your Engine<\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key reasons behind your engine overheating is lack of lubrication.

One recommendation is to have your coolant levels topped off during each scheduled oil change.<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an Eye on Your Temperature Gauge<\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your vehicle\u2019s temperature gauge or dashboard warning lights will warn you of an overheating engine.

The heat can easily damage your hoses. So, during the summer, we recommend checking your vehicle\u2019s hoses for signs of necessary repair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find that your hoses are cracked, leaking, or peeling, make an appointment with a Kwik Kar near you or a quick replacement.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay Cool and Safer This Summer With Kwik Kar Automotive Services<\/span><\/h2><p>Kwik Kar Automotive Lube and Service Center is dedicated to helping Texans keep their vehicles running smoothly and safely throughout the year<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
