Battery Trouble? How Texas Heat Affects Your Car Battery

May 20, 2025

Most drivers think about their car battery when winter hits, but in North Texas, summer is also a real battery killer. 

High temperatures cause battery fluid to evaporate and internal corrosion to speed up. This weakens the battery and makes it harder for your car to start—especially after it sits in the sun all day.

Signs of a struggling battery include slow engine cranks, dim headlights, a clicking noise when you turn the key, or warning lights on your dashboard. If your battery is more than three years old, it’s a smart idea to have it tested before summer peaks.

At David’s Automotive Repair, we offer fast, accurate battery testing and replacement services. We’ll help you avoid the frustration of a dead battery—and the hassle of being stranded on a hot day.

Protect your peace of mind—call 972-625-1836 today to schedule your battery check with us!

Belts keep systems like your alternator and power steering working. Hoses carry important fluids like coolant and help your engine stay at the right temperature. Over time, heat and wear can cause them to crack , fray , or leak . If a belt breaks or a hose bursts while you’re driving, it could lead to engine damage or even leave you stuck on the side of the road. That’s why it’s smart to have them checked regularly—especially before long trips or hot summer days. If you’re unsure about the condition of your belts and hoses, we’re here to help with a quick check. Call 972-625-1836 to make a reservation to have your belts and hoses inspected by a certified technician.

High temperatures can cause fluids to thin out , break down faster, or even evaporate —putting your car at risk for overheating or part failure. If your coolant is low, your engine can overheat. If your oil is dirty or your transmission fluid is old, important parts may not be properly protected. The summer heat makes staying on top of fluid checks more important than ever. At David’s Automotive Repair, we’ll inspect all your fluids to make sure your vehicle is ready to take on the summer. Call 972-625-1836 or go online to reserve your visit. Let’s make sure your vehicle stays cool, clean, and reliable all season long.
