A Santa Clarita auto body shop owner is providing residents with a summer maintenance checklist to make sure their cars are in good condition during the intense heat.
With temperatures hitting the triple digits in Santa Clarita, Body Shop 661 owner Cesar Ranuschio tells car owners to remember these maintenance tips:
Tire pressure
“A lot of time with the weather changes, the tires inflate and deflate, so tire pressure is very important, especially if you’re commuting a lot,” Ranuschio said.

Water
“(In) older cars, it tends to go down every couple of months, so it’s very important to keep an eye on that,” Ranuschio said.
Oil and temperature
“Always (watch) oil for lubrication, because when it’s hotter, it’s harder for that motor because it’s running hotter and it’s hotter outside,” Ranuschio said. “Make sure you always keep your eye on the temperature, because the overheating is the No.1 killer of cars,”
Batteries
“You notice when the temperature goes from being colder to being hotter, the car gives you a little trouble to start, so it’s good to maybe take it somewhere and have it fully charged,” Ranuschio said. “That way you get a fresh new start with it and you can buy some more time on that battery.”
