Buckeye sees about 173 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 112 of them reach 100°F. 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.

Only about 8 inches of rain fall in a year, so it is sun, not water, that ages a car here. Rubber parts, wiper blades and dashboards crack sooner.

The average commute in Buckeye is 33 minutes each way, and 68% of workers drive there alone. Long commutes add miles fast, so oil changes and brakes come due sooner than the calendar says.
