Summers here bring about 38 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.

It freezes on about 59 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.

About 51 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 Lawrenceville is 32 minutes each way, and 66% of workers drive there alone. Long commutes add miles fast, so oil changes and brakes come due sooner than the calendar says. 13% of households have no car at all, which is part of why mechanics who come to you do well here.
