How do you keep your car cool in the summer?

I have a black interior, and my leather seats are always on fire when I sit down in warm months! How can I keep my car cool in the summer?

A hot interior can be the worst! Luckily, there are several ways for you to keep your thighs from burning off when you sit down.
First, try to get a parking spot in the shade. If you’re going to be out of the car for a longer period of time, the extra walk to a shaded spot is well worth it.
For the times you can’t find any shade, you can use a windshield visor to keep your car cool. You can find them almost anywhere in plenty of different styles to make cooling off more fun.
Leather does get extremely hot, so think about investing in cloth seat covers. You can take them off when summer is over, but for these hot months, they can keep your seats cool.
Summer is also a great time for road trips, so if you have any planned, make sure that you’re prepared for any unexpected eventuality. One great way to do this is with a roadside assistance membership from
