Best Car Mechanics in San Rafael, CA

Last week we experienced a number of battery failures, in part due to the car’s that have been staying at home “as you should” Berkeley Minicar recommends driving every at least every 10 days to make it less likely that you wind up with a dead battery, flat-spotted tires or other issues that can be caused by letting a car sit parked for weeks. You should be driving your car 3-4 times each month and for at least 10 or more miles, with some speeds over 50 mph if possible. Letting a car idle for 10 minutes will get the engine up to normal operating temperature but accomplish little else. Also, rodents might take up residence under the hood.. If they get hungry, some may munch on the wiring harnesses and other parts made of soy and other organic materials that are used on modern vehicles. As always we’re here to answer questions or help you when needed. If you would like to leave your car and have us charge up the battery for free (takes about 4 hours) call us for an appointment.
