Fall weather and getting your Car Ready

With the fall weather and temperatures, now you can start to think about getting your vehicle checked. Having a complete bumper to bumper inspection is good to help it continue to run correctly and efficiently. Whenever there is an issue, always make sure to have it checked as soon as possible. Doing this will help prevent any further issues or costs in the long run.

You will want to check the oil of the vehicle. Based on the schedule, the oil should be changed as well when it is recommended. If you are not sure when this should be, make sure to contact us. Having the oil changed will help to make sure that the engine and other moving parts are properly lubricated. If there is not any oil, then these parts can wear against either and fail. The engine can also completely fail. This will result in a very costly repair bill. If you hear any odd noises from the engine, always make sure to have that inspected as well. Even if it may be nothing, it is always best to have it inspected.

The tires should also be checked for the vehicle. If they are low, you will want them to be properly inflated. This way they can rotate and wear evenly when you drive. When a tire is too low, you will start to notice that your vehicle pulls in one direction or the other when you are driving. This can cause it to be hazardous to drive, especially in heavy traffic. You will also want to check the tread on each tire of the vehicle. This can easily be done with using just a penny. Place the penny upside down in the groove of each tire. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, then the tire will need to be replaced. We can also inspect the tires for you by scheduling an appointment.
