Owning a Car in Fort Mill
Summers here bring about 55 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.
Lows drop to freezing on about 65 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.
About 42 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 Fort Mill is 26 minutes each way, and 66% of workers drive there alone.
