Tips to Keep Your Car Cool in Summer

There are a number of strategies that you can use to keep your car cool in the summer months. Here are just a few methods to control the heat in %%target_city_1% and Hastings:

• Park in the Shade: If you’re looking for parking around Holdrege, take a spot in the shade if you can find it. This is a simple way to keep the cabin temperatures lower. 
• Park in a Covered Area: If you have access to a garage or covered spot, that’s even better. This will offer better protection against harsh UV rays, as well as a cooler environment for your car.
• Purchase a Sunshade or Window Visor: When there’s no shade, you can create your own! Pick up a sunshade or window visor at our parts department to help shield your car from the sun.
• Cover the Steering Wheel & Dashboard: Purchase a cloth steering wheel cover or dash cover to protect your car’s surfaces from sun damage. This will also help to protect your skin when grabbing the steering wheel on a sunny day.
• Crack the Windows: Cracking the windows will let air flow through, creating a much more comfortable cabin. But if you’re leaving the car unattended for a longer period of time, be sure to only open them a tiny bit, or you could compromise your security.
• Protect the Leather Surfaces: A set of cloth covers can be a great accessory for leather upholstery. This brings the temperature down while protecting the delicate leather surface from damaging UV rays.
• Get Tinted Windows: Consider investing in a window tint to protect your cabin even more. However, check your local laws first to ensure that your tint level is appropriate for the Holdrege roads.
• Let Your Car Cool Before Driving: Before you hop in the cabin, open up all the car doors briefly. This allows fresh air to flow through the interior completely, which pushes out the warm and stagnant air quickly.
