Sylacauga sees about 61 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.
Lows drop to freezing on about 73 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.
About 57 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
The average commute in Sylacauga is 24 minutes each way, and 87% of workers drive there alone.
