7 Car Maintenance Tips For Fall

posted on 10/14/2021 10:15:54 AM
 
 
The fall season has finally arrived, which means cooler temps, beautiful colors and fall car maintenance. Yep, that’s right - fall is the perfect time of year to give your vehicle a little love.
 
As a good car owner, you understand the importance of routine car maintenance. It’s important to help your vehicle adjust to seasonal changes. Here are 7 Car Maintenance Tips For Fall:
 
 
1) Make sure your heater/defroster works -  Traveling without heat isn’t fun, and driving with fogged-up windows is an accident waiting to happen. Check front and rear window defrosters to ensure proper working condition. If necessary, have heater and defroster systems repaired.
 
2) Check your tire pressure on a monthly basis - The dip in temperature will affect your tire pressure. Monitor your tire pressure on a monthly basis to be sure the levels are set at the vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations.

3) Inspect your wiper blades - It’s important to have a clear windshield for optimum visibility. 
 
4) Check the brakes - It's important year-round to have reliable and well performing brakes but if you are planning a ski trip in an area known for inclement weather and other seasonal hazards, effective stopping power is vital.

5) Have your battery checked - A well performing battery is necessary to start your car in cold weather. Daniels Tire Service is happy to perform a battery test for free.
 
6) Check your antifreeze - Your antifreeze may have gotten diluted in the summer months. As the temps get cooler, your vehicle’s antifreeze will help regulate your engine’s temperature and ensure that it is running properly.
 
7) Check the lights - Enjoy the weather outside one night and check to be sure that all your lights are working properly. Inspect the headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights, and emergency flashers. If you notice a dim or burnt out light, replace it. This is also a good time to clean your lights in order to improve visibility and safer driving.

Before the cooler temps sets in, give your car a little extra love and bring it to Daniels Tire Service for a check-up. By doing so, you will be on the road to safer driving, no matter what the weather looks like!
