Nearly 1 in 3 roadside breakdowns happen during summer months \u2014 and most of them are preventable. Heat is one of the harshest conditions your vehicle faces all year, stressing everything from your battery to your tires to your cooling system. If you drive in Brooklyn or anywhere in the NYC metro area, summer traffic, stop-and-go congestion, and the occasional highway road trip make a solid summer car maintenance checklist more than a good idea \u2014 it’s a necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
