Fall Car Care
The start of fall is the perfect time of year to prepare your vehicle for colder temperatures and traveling for the upcoming holidays.
Check Fluids
Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.
Hoses & belts
Check the hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.
Check battery
Check the battery and replace if necessary. Make sure the connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.
Check Brakes
Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change.
Check Tires
Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.
Check Wipers
Replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation.
