It’s going to get very hot, and soon. As temperatures soar in Qatar, your vehicle needs extra care to stay road ready. From preventing overheating to ensuring a cool interior, here are the key tips to keep your car running smoothly during the hot months.

Tip 1

Tint your car windows

Tinting your windows during the summer months is essential as it can reduce heat buildup inside the car. It protects the dashboard, seats, and electronics from harmful UV rays and maintains a cooler cabin temperature, enhancing driving comfort.

Tip 2

Service your Aircon

Get your air conditioning system checked for refrigerant levels, clean or replace the air filters, ensure vents are not blocked and get the AC condenser and compressor inspected. A well working A/C is essential to comfortable driving.

Need Help? To ensure your car air conditioning is working perfectly, get it checked by an AC technician from Qatar Living Vehicles.

Tip 3

Check your tyres

Summer heat can cause tyre pressure to rise, so it's important to check tyre pressure regularly. Get an expert to look out for wear, cracks, or bulges. Rotate your tyres every 8,000 to 10,000 km, and ensure wheel alignment and balancing are accurate. Replace tyres if the tread depth is too low to ensure road safety.
Need Help? If your tyres look worn out or you’re experiencing an uneven ride, you need to replace your tires. Check out Qatar Living Vehicles for tyre shops.

Tip 4

Prevent engine overheating

High temperatures can cause your engine to overheat if the cooling system isn't in top shape. Get the coolant levels checked, inspect the radiator and hoses for leaks, and ensure radiator fins are clean. Also regularly monitor the temperature gauge while driving.
Need Help? If your engine is heating up too fast or you notice leaks or steam, you need a mechanic to help you out. Check out Qatar Living Vehicles for local garages.

Tip 5
Watch out for faulty parts

Summer heat can worsen existing issues in your car’s engine and air conditioning, including worn-out belts, faulty AC compressors, condensers, or damaged hoses. Strange engine noises, reduced cooling, and dashboard warning lights are all signs that parts might need repair or replacement.
Need Help? If your car is showing any signs of faulty parts or poor performance, check out Qatar Living Vehicles for spare parts providers.

A trusted vehicle maintenance professional can enhance your vehicle's performance and ensure a safer, more comfortable driving experience throughout Qatar's intense summer season. Qatar Living Vehicles has many garages who can help you keep your vehicle in tip-top condition for a comfortable and safe driving experience.
