Three things to do before Florida summer hits

By Boca Tire and Auto

By the time July hits, every shop in town is booked solid for A/C work. Spend twenty minutes in April and you'll thank yourself.

1. Get the A/C performance checked

Even if it's blowing cold today, a slow refrigerant leak takes weeks to show. We pull the gauges, check pressures, and sniff for leaks — free with any service this summer.

2. Test the battery

Heat kills batteries faster than cold. If yours is over three years old, get it tested. We test for free and most installations take 20 minutes.

3. Check coolant and the radiator cap

An old radiator cap that won't hold pressure boils your coolant at 240°F instead of 260°F — and you don't want to find out at a stoplight on Glades Road.
