If you do not have someone you trust to come over and start it once or twice while you are gone, then just be prepared for the possibility of having to jump start your car, because the battery will lose some power without any use for that period of time.

Stuart is correct when you have the car sitting for a period of time without driving it the battery will die and you will need to jump start the car when you get back.

stuart is right.you should have someone start it every so often,that way the lubercation system will be kept lube all the time and also it will keep the dampness out of the engine.get someone you know you can trust,just to come over and start it and warm it up,ill say about once a week.

worst thing you can do for a car is let is sit...however letting it sit for 1 month will not be a big issue in the summer. it can be more damaging if you were to live in an extreme environment. make sure when you get home you start it up and let it warm up....don't hit the gas or rev it up. just let is chill.

for a month its not going to be to bad but i would recommend disconnecting the battery while you are away and when you get back reconnect battery start it up let it warm up for a few minutes then take it out for a drive.

Change the oil and filter, wash the car, and put it in your garage and disconnect the battery. You should be fine.

Actualy. I wouldn't trust anyone to start it and let it run.
It might overheat, they might take it for a joy ride and crash it.
Just disconnect the battery. One month is short.

it is bad on any car to let it set ,but a month isn't going to hurt it none ,it will be fine for that period of time,it wont anything on it to set for a short period of time like that ,if i was going to be longer it might but that one will be ok,good luck.
