Dubai’s extreme summer heat can take a toll on your car, leading to engine overheating, battery failure, and air conditioning issues. To avoid costly repairs and breakdowns, follow these essential car maintenance tips.

1. Check and Maintain Engine Coolant

High temperatures put extra stress on your car’s engine, increasing the risk of overheating. Regularly check your coolant levels and ensure there are no leaks in the radiator or hoses.

2. Protect Your Car Battery

Hot weather accelerates battery wear. Test your battery performance, clean the terminals, and replace old batteries before they fail.

3. Ensure Optimal Tire Pressure

Tires expand in heat, leading to blowouts. Keep tires inflated to the recommended PSI and inspect them for cracks or worn-out treads.

4. Keep Your AC in Top Condition

A failing car AC makes driving unbearable in Dubai’s heat. Get your air conditioning system checked, clean the filters, and ensure the refrigerant is at the correct level.
