A Workday in the Sun on Washington Boulevard
Culver City is a place people drive to and stay all day. The studios, the offices around Washington and National Boulevards and the converted warehouses of the Hayden Tract fill up in the morning and empty after dark. Much of that parking is open to the sky: surface lots, street spaces and the top decks of structures. Culver City also sits a few miles inland, where the morning cloud clears sooner than at the beach, so a Porsche here spends most of its daylight hours in direct sun.
A closed car in the sun gets much hotter inside than the air around it. So does the front trunk, where a 911, Boxster or Cayman carries its battery. Heat speeds up the corrosion of a battery's plates and the loss of its electrolyte. The damage is done in summer and shows up later, on the first cool morning, when the weakened battery can't turn the engine.
A/C, Electrics and Hardened Rubber
The air conditioning pays as well. Every drive home from the Sony lot begins with the compressor working flat out to pull down a heat-soaked cabin. That is when a system slightly low on refrigerant stops keeping up, and warm air from the vents is often the first sign of a leak. Opening the windows for the first block lets the hot air out and gives the A/C far less to do.
Rubber suffers under heat and ultraviolet light. Wiper blades, door and window seals and tire sidewalls all harden and crack sooner on a car that lives on a roof deck. A reflective windshield shade protects the dashboard, and a space in the shadow of a building protects the battery. When something does fail, bring the car in and we'll evaluate it and give you a quote.
