      How weather affects Auto Repair

      Do you plan to take your vehicle to a place like International Falls, MN with prolonged heat/cold or humidity in the next 3 months? Please consider the following impact on your vehicle:

      The cooling system is one of the parts most significantly impacted by cold weather. The coolant circulating through it might be freezing partially or completely. Radiator and cooling system, which have to accommodate the expanding of the frozen liquid, are affected. Cracks may form resulting in a leaking cooling system. The cold might also be causing your radiator to contract, causing hoses and hose clamps to come loose if they're not tightened. Slower chemical reactions can extend the life of a battery by slowing the degradation. Batteries in cold climates can last up to 20% longer than in mild climates. However, when it gets cold fast, the much slower chemical reactions mean lower battery output. Remember when it seemed your battery instantaneously stops working at rapidly falling temperatures in International Falls, MN?

      High Humidity such as in International Falls, MN increases the likelihood of condensation inside the headlight housing. Water and electricity don't mix, which may cause a short circuit leading to failure of your lightbulb. In addition, any condensation water coming in contact with a hot light bulb may cause the bulb to break. Many different sensors in your vehicle let its car computer know if a potential problem is detected because they sense temperatures, pressures, filling level etc. to be out of normal range. Excess moisture from heavy humidity in International Falls, MN might cause the sensors to trip inadvertently and create a false positive, meaning they signal a problem even when there really isn't one. Every time a warning or the check engine light is on, get it diagnosed by a professional before you worry about the malfunction of your car.
