How Phoenix heat affects vehicles

Phoenix has more than 100 days at 100 degrees or hotter in a typical year. Heat shortens battery life. Batteries in the Phoenix area commonly last two to three years, compared with four to five years in cooler climates. High temperatures under the hood harden rubber hoses and serpentine belts and break down coolant faster. Air conditioning runs for most of the year, so compressors, condenser fans and blower motors log more hours than they do in other cities. Tire pressure rises on hot pavement, and old or underinflated tires are more likely to fail at freeway speed.

Repairs that are commonly done on site

Mobile mechanics in general handle work that needs hand tools, a jack and a scan tool. That usually includes battery testing and replacement, starter and alternator replacement, no-start diagnosis, check engine light code reading, brake pads and rotors, serpentine belts, radiator hoses, thermostats, and oil and fluid changes. Jobs that need a lift, an alignment rack or transmission removal are normally done in a shop. This page does not list the services of Roadside Phoenix Mobile Mechanic. Ask the business which repairs it performs and whether it works on your make and model.

Information to have ready before calling

Have the year, make, model and engine size. Describe what the vehicle does, when the problem started and which warning lights are on. For a no-start, say whether the engine cranks, clicks once or does nothing when the key is turned. Give the address or the nearest cross streets, and say whether the vehicle is in a driveway, a garage, a parking structure or on the street. Mention if the ground is sloped or unpaved. Some apartment complexes, homeowner associations and employers restrict repairs on their property, so check the rules for the location. The number to call is 602-759-9661.

Questions to ask about the visit

Ask how travel and diagnosis are charged and whether parts are included in the quote. Ask how payment is taken. Ask when a mechanic can arrive and how long the repair usually takes. Ask what happens if the problem turns out to need shop equipment. Get the quote before work starts.

Phoenix is a large area to cover

The city of Phoenix covers more than 500 square miles, and the metro area continues into Glendale, Peoria, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale and Chandler. Drive time on I-10, I-17, Loop 101 and Loop 202 changes with the time of day. Give the exact location when you call Roadside Phoenix Mobile Mechanic at 602-759-9661 and ask whether it is inside the area the business serves.

Summer conditions at the vehicle

Pavement and engine parts stay hot long after a drive in summer. An engine that has overheated needs to cool before the radiator cap is opened, because coolant under pressure can cause burns. Summer repairs are often scheduled for early morning, when the pavement and the engine bay are cooler. A vehicle stopped on a freeway shoulder is in a dangerous spot. On-site repair is safer in a driveway, a parking lot or on a side street.
