The heat is cooling down, and so is your engine as it relaxes from all that air conditioning. As we prepare for winter, we hardly notice that along with the changes in the leaves, there are also changes on the road. Like spring, fall undergoes harsh rainfall, and falling leaves make for a slippery road. If temperatures get too low unexpectedly, you could be facing black ice. Check out some valuable ways to prep your vehicle for the fall and, in turn, the upcoming winter.
Recommended Fall Services for Your Vehicle
Every model is different, so your checklist might differ from others. A sports car with rear-wheel drive might need more than an all-wheel drive SUV. Along with regular maintenance, here are some Fall services you'll want to opt for at your next service appointment:
- Belt Checks: Worn belts are more vulnerable to snap in the cold months, so make sure there's plenty of elasticity in yours.
- Fluid Check: Engine coolant, engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and more - you'll want to ensure your vehicle is fully juiced up, so you aren't refilling them in the winter.
- Tire Check: Start looking at snow tires, get an alignment, and a tire rotation, so you have enough tread to navigate unpredictable weather.
- Battery Check: Is your battery tired from excessive AC use? Let's ensure your battery's health is in good standing, so you're not stranded in the cold looking for a jump.
- Brake Check: Always come to a complete stop, especially on slippery roads. Get your brakes checked with us.
- Heat Check: Stay warm as the temperature drops, and get your heat checked so you don't have to freeze while you drive.
- And More!
