A car's battery is crucial to its operation, particularly starting the vehicle. Proper maintenance of a vehicle's battery will ensure your car runs optimally. Part of car battery maintenance is ensuring that the battery does not fail. The following are the most common causes of battery failure: Aging Natural aging of the battery is the primary cause of car battery failure. A car battery typically has a lifespan of about six years. With time, the battery's resistance increases, making it harder for it to work. Eventually, the battery will die and fail, making a replacement mandatory. Poor Care The second most common reason vehicle batteries fail is due to improper maintenance by the car owner. Owners should read the manual so they can know how to maintain their car batteries. Human negligence of car batteries includes things like leaving the lights on, using the radio for too long, not replacing battery fluid, and more. If you take proper ... read more

Several factors can affect the performance of a car's air conditioning system. Here are some common ones: Refrigerant levels: Low refrigerant levels can result in reduced cooling efficiency. Cars' AC should be blowing twenty degrees below the ambient temperature in the warmer months. (Between 40 and 50 degrees). Damaged hoses, seals, or components within the AC system can cause leakage or insufficient refrigerant. Compressor issues: The compressor is responsible for circulating and pressuring the refrigerant. Problems with the compressor, such as a faulty clutch, worn-out bearings, or electrical issues, can lead to poor cooling performance. Condenser blockage: The condenser, located at the front of the car, helps dissipate heat from the refrigerant. Accumulation of dirt, debris, or bugs on the condenser fins can obstruct airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Evaporator problems: The evaporator inside the car cools the air before it is blown into the cabin. A dirty or clogg ... read more
