Calabasas sees about 115 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 36 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.

The average commute in Calabasas is 34 minutes each way, and 70% of workers drive there alone. Long commutes add miles fast, so oil changes and brakes come due sooner than the calendar says.
