5 Tips to Keep Your Parked Car Cooler | Waltham Auto Gallery

Summertime in Massachusetts is no joke — especially when your car becomes a rolling oven. At Waltham Auto Gallery, we want our customers to stay safe, comfortable, and cool all summer long.

Did you know?
When outdoor temps hit 80–100°F, the inside of your parked car can reach a blazing 130–172°F in minutes (source: Action News). Here are 5 simple ways to keep your vehicle cooler when parked.

1. Park in the Shade (Whenever You Can)

Look for trees, buildings, or covered areas when parking. Even partial shade reduces interior heat dramatically. If possible, angle your car so the driver’s side avoids direct sunlight — trust us, your hands and seatbelt will thank you!

2. Use a Sunshade & Visors

Windshield sunshades are inexpensive and incredibly effective at blocking heat.
For extra protection:

• Use your built-in visor along with a fold-out sunshade

• Add rear window visors or vent shades for side windows

• Bonus: They also protect your dashboard from UV damage

3. Cool It Down Before You Hop In

If your car has a remote starter, use it to turn on the A/C before getting inside.
No remote starter? Open all doors for a minute to release the trapped heat. This quick step can bring down the temperature faster than blasting the A/C right away.

4. Cover Your Steering Wheel

Ever grabbed a steering wheel that felt like lava? Prevent that by tossing a light towel over it when you park.
Pro tip: Light colors reflect heat better than dark ones.

5. Protect Your Seats

Whether you have leather, vinyl, or cloth seats — direct sun can make them unbearable.
Try:

• Seat covers (reflective if possible)

• A light towel or blanket

• Or tinted windows to reduce total heat absorption

Stay Cool & Comfortable This Summer

At Waltham Auto Gallery, we care about more than just selling great cars — we want you to enjoy the drive every season.

Buying a car is a major decision, and if you're shopping in Massachusetts, you’re probably weighing cost, practicality, and reliability — especially with winter weather, rising gas prices, and city traffic in the mix.

At Waltham Auto Gallery, we’ve helped hundreds of local drivers find the right used vehicle without breaking the bank. If you’re considering a used car this year, here’s why it makes more sense than ever.

1. Better Value for Your Budget

With the price of new cars remaining high and interest rates on the rise, buying used means you get more car for your money — whether it's a reliable Toyota Corolla or a roomy Ford Escape. Pre-owned vehicles typically cost 30%–50% less than new models, while still offering all the features you need.

2. Lower Insurance & Registration Fees

Massachusetts is one of the most expensive states for car insurance. Fortunately, used cars usually come with significantly lower premiums. And since registration fees are based on vehicle value, you’ll also save at the RMV when you register your pre-owned vehicle.

3. Local Dealers Know Local Needs

Driving in Boston or Waltham is different from driving in Texas or Florida. Our inventory is built for New England life — whether that means AWD SUVs for winter, compact sedans for tight city parking, or hybrids for fuel efficiency.

We also know the ins and outs of Massachusetts inspections, emissions standards, and how to help with insurance, DMV paperwork, and financing, even if you’re new to the U.S.

4. Certified History with Local Support

At Waltham Auto Gallery, every vehicle includes a CARFAX report, and we hand-pick each car to ensure it’s safe, reliable, and ready to hit the road. We’re not just a dealership — we’re a local business, and we stand behind our cars.

5. Immediate Availability

Tired of waiting 3 months for a new car to arrive? Our used cars are on the lot and ready for test drives today — no delays, no factory lead times. You can drive away this weekend!
