Your Car’s Air Conditioning System
A well-functioning air conditioning system is crucial for a comfortable drive during hot summer days. Start by checking the refrigerant levels and ensuring that the system is properly charged. If you notice any issues, such as weak airflow or warm air blowing, it may be time for a system recharge or repairs. APD offers a selection of air conditioning components and refrigerants to help you maintain a cool and refreshing interior.
Keeping your Car’s Engine Cool
The cooling system plays a vital role in preventing your engine from overheating. Inspect the radiator, hoses, and coolant levels to ensure that there are no leaks or cracks and that the coolant is at the required level. If needed, replace worn-out hoses and consider flushing the cooling system to remove any debris or contaminants. APD provides all the cooling system components you will need, to help you keep your engine running at the correct temperature.
Sun Visors and Shades
Sunshades and visors are a simple yet effective way to keep the interior of your car cool. Purchase sunshades for your windscreen and side windows to block out direct sunlight and prevent the greenhouse warming effect inside your car. Sunshades can significantly reduce the temperature inside your car and protect your dashboard and upholstery from sun damage. APD offers a range of interior and exterior car accessories to fit different car models and provide maximum sun protection.
Interior Air Filters
Cabin air filters help to maintain a clean and fresh environment inside your car. During the summer months, when pollen and dust levels increase, it’s essential to have a clean cabin air filter to ensure optimal airflow and minimise allergens. Replace your cabin air filter regularly to improve air quality and keep the interior of your car smelling fresh. APD offers cabin air filters for most car makes and models.
Checking your Car’s Battery
Hot weather can be tough on car batteries, so it’s important to have them checked regularly. Extreme temperatures can accelerate battery corrosion and affect their performance. If your battery is nearing the end of its lifespan, consider replacing it to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance of your car’s interior and exterior is a great way to keep your car clean and reliable during the summer. Wash your car regularly to remove dirt, dust and insects that can accumulate on the exterior. Additionally, clean the interior surfaces, including the dashboard, seats and floor mats, to maintain a fresh and inviting environment. APD offers a variety of car cleaning products to help you keep your vehicle looking its best.
