Tips For Keeping Your Car Cool In Hot Weather | Cash For Cars Atlanta

There’s nothing worse than stepping out of a nice air conditioned home or office into a steaming hot car.  Here’s a few tips to help keep your car cool and beat that brutal summer sun: 

1. Buy multiple sunshades.  At a minimum, cover your front windshield and rear window with a full sunshade.  It may also be a good idea to cover your side windows too. When you park in the sun for long periods of time since the sun may be in a different spot before you leave that parking space.

2. Cover your seats and steering wheel with thick towels.  This will help prevent the sun from baking them while your car is parked.

3. Park smart. Even if you have to walk a little further, park in the shade of buildings or trees whenever possible. 

These tips should definitely help you keep your car much cooler during the hot summer.  Once you get in your car to drive off, let your windows all the way down until your A/C fully kicks in.  The air outside will likely be cooler than the air inside the car, even though they both may be hot. Also be sure to have your mechanic check out you’re A/C system prior to the start of summer.

Well, stay cool and enjoy the summer. When you are ready to get a new car, call us and get cash for your old car and same day pick. We offer free quotes and pay top dollar for your old cars and junk cars. We are Atlanta’s top cash for cars company. We buy cars!

3 Things To Consider When Choosing A Car


1.       Set A Budget. Set a strict budget so that you won’t be swayed by the cars that my have that “wow” factor, but in reality you simply can’t afford. Your budget should not be based on monthly payments, but the total sale price of the car.  Then accept the highest payment you can afford when you finance it to minimize what you will be paying in interest. You may want to research  car prices online before heading out to dealerships so you know what makes and models fall within your budget.

2.       Know the gas mileage on the car.  Sometimes we only think about the cost of the car, but fuel efficiency is very important too. Think about your daily commute, road trips and errands.   These all add up and the better the fuel efficiency the more money you will keep in your wallet.  Add up your average weekly mileage and calculate how much you will spend on gas a week on various models you are interested in. 

3.       Put safety at the top of your list.  Check your cars safety rating and weigh that factor heavily.  Not only can a safer car save your life in an accident, but it may also reduce your auto insurance rate. 

Choosing a new car is a big decision and usually one we have to live with for years.  Make sure you choose wisely to ensure you are happy with your car and your savings account.  When you are ready to sell your old car, call us. We buy cars!! We will give you cash for you car.

5 Tips To Get The Most For Your Money At The Gas Pump


1. Use the lowest octane gasoline possible. Buy the lowest grade or octane of gasoline that is appropriate for your car. If your car doesn't require premium gasoline, don't use it.  The more expense high-octane fuel will not increase your car's fuel economy or performance.

2. When you fill up, don't top off. Additional gas will just end up seeping out. There's no point in paying for gas that you will never get to burn anyway. Stop filling up when the gas pump turns off.

3. Be sure that the gas cap is tight. If your gas cap isn't tight, gas will evaporate from your car's gas tank. So the next time you fill up, be sure to tighten up that gas cap firmly.

4. Keep your car in the shade. The blazing summer sun can eat up fuel from your gas tank. Whenever possible, park your car under a tree, in a garage or in the shade of a building.  Also use a quality windshield shade, which will help to block sunlight and keep your car cooler.

5. Keep your tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires wear down faster and decrease your car's gas mileage. Your engine has to work harder when the tires have low pressure.

Get the most for your dollars at the pump. When you are ready to sell your car, let us know and we can help. We offer cash for cars!
