Weather and Your Car in Gentilly
Gentilly sits low between the canals, and a heavy downpour can put water across its streets and underpasses quickly. Drivers here know which blocks flood first and move their cars when a big storm is on the way. Driving through standing water can soak brakes and wiring and draw water into the engine. If the engine stalls in high water, do not keep cranking it.
Long hot summers bake cars parked in open driveways, wearing out batteries, belts and hoses, and an A/C system that is low on refrigerant struggles on a 95 degree afternoon. The damp air speeds up rust on brakes and battery terminals all year, and hurricane season brings strong wind and days of heavy rain from June through November.
Common Car Problems We Fix Near Gentilly
Gentilly calls are mostly batteries, starters and alternators, check engine lights, worn brakes, A/C repairs in summer and cars that have been through high water.
