High Vegas temperatures can cause parasitic drain to increase because the vehicle’s cooling fans and computer systems must run longer to manage engine heat. This places a constant load on the battery, even after the engine has been turned off. If the battery has already been weakened by the summer heat, it may not have enough reserve power to start the vehicle the next time it is needed. Ensuring the electrical system is strong enough to handle this extra demand is a critical part of summer vehicle care.

You should service your vehicle every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first, for routine maintenance like oil changes and inspections. Always check your owner’s manual, as some vehicles and driving conditions may require more frequent attention to keep everything running smoothly and safely.

Any of our friendly, neighborhood locations can help you determine the schedule that’s best for your car. In many cases, the maintenance schedule is determined by the manufacturer for optimal service life for your vehicle; this can be found in the owner’s manual.

No. In fact, it is against the law for a manufacturer to dishonor their warranty just because the vehicle was serviced elsewhere. As long as the service is performed by capable car mechanics like the ones at your friendly neighborhood Tire Works, your warranty is valid.
