Owning a Car in Longview
Longview sees about 111 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 17 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.
It freezes on about 38 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 50 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 Longview is 21 minutes each way, and 81% of workers drive there alone.
