📆 Why Cars Hate Mondays Too

😩 Monday Mornings: Rough for Everyone — Even Your Car

You’re tired. You’re late. You’re regretting that third cup of coffee. But guess what? Your car isn’t exactly thrilled either. Just like you, it’s had a long weekend and it’s not emotionally prepared to face the traffic on the 60.

At CarLife Auto Repair, we’ve seen it all: surprise dashboard lights, sluggish batteries, sudden weird noises. If your car could talk, it would probably just groan, “Not today, Karen.”

🛠️ Common Monday Car Mood Swings (and What They Mean)

🪫 The Slow Start

“Ughhh. Don’t make me do this.”
Battery dragging? You’re not alone. Arizona heat zaps battery life — especially after sitting idle all weekend.

💡 The Surprise Check Engine Light

Your car was fine Friday. Now the check engine light is having a moment.
Often triggered by:

• A loose gas cap
• Delayed maintenance
• A sensor that just had to act up on a Monday

🛞 Weird Noises That Weren’t There Yesterday

Clunks, squeaks, squeals... Monday is when every noise decides to audition for your attention. It might be your brakes, belts, or just your sanity fraying.

🥵 Your A/C Is Like, “Nah.”

Monday morning and your A/C is blowing warm? Time to check refrigerant levels — especially if you have a newer car that uses R1234YF.
