Summer in the UAE is no joke. With temperatures soaring above 45°C, your car faces extreme conditions that can affect everything from engine performance to paintwork and battery life. Whether you drive a luxury sedan, a high-performance EV like Tesla, or a daily commuter, proper summer maintenance is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and looking sharp.
At XpressAuto, Dubai’s trusted Tesla-approved bodyshop, we help car owners beat the heat with expert care from bodywork and wheels to interiors and EV diagnostics.
☀️ Why Summer Heat Is Tough on Cars in the UAE
The UAE’s climate can cause:
- Battery drain and overheating
- Tire pressure fluctuations
- AC system strain
- Paint fading and oxidation
- Interior cracking and discoloration
- Fluid evaporation and engine stress
🔧 Top 10 Summer Car Maintenance Tips for UAE Drivers
1. Check and Maintain Tire Pressure
Heat expands air, causing overinflation or blowouts. Check tire pressure weekly and rotate tires regularly.
2. Protect Your Paint
Use ceramic coating or paint protection film (PPF) to shield against UV rays and sand damage.
XpressAuto offers lifetime warranty paint protection.
3. Service Your AC System
Your AC works overtime in summer. Clean filters, recharge refrigerant, and inspect for leaks to stay cool.
4. Monitor Battery Health
EVs like Tesla are sensitive to heat. Keep your car plugged in when parked and precondition the battery before driving.
5. Use Sunshades and UV Protectants
Protect your dashboard, leather seats, and trims from cracking and fading.
6. Check Coolant and Fluids
Heat causes fluids to evaporate faster. Top up coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer regularly.
7. Clean and Condition the Interior
Use leather conditioners and interior protectants to prevent drying and discoloration.
8. Inspect Belts and Hoses
Heat can cause rubber components to crack or wear prematurely. Schedule regular inspections.
9. Wash Your Car Frequently
Remove dust, sand, and salt buildup to prevent corrosion and paint damage.
10. Schedule Preventive Maintenance
Don’t wait for a breakdown. Book a summer check-up to catch issues early.
