Cold temperatures make people think of failing car batteries more than warm weather but a Sturgeon Bay auto technician says summer is the time they fail a lot as well. Randy Sahs, owner of Sahs Collision and Service Center, says car batteries fail at about the same rate and maybe even more often in the summer than the winter. It’s especially important to get your battery checked before going on a long road trip according to Sahs.

Sahs adds getting a routine inspection and checking the air conditioning is important in the summer.
