In the fall, you will want to make sure that you have your vehicle inspected on a regular basis. Fall inspections will help keep your vehicle operating effectively. It will also help improve the safety when you drive this winter. Without maintenance, the parts of the vehicle can start to fail. This will decrease the life of the vehicle and how long you will be able to drive it.
Check the lights on your vehicle this fall. As the days get shorter, you will need to use the lights on your vehicle more often. Not only will the lights help you to see better, but they also help others see you. This will prevent someone walking out in front of you, or pulling the car out as well. The brake lights should also be inspected when you are checking the headlights of your vehicle.
The battery of your vehicle should also be tested now. Doing so can help keep it operating during the cold winter months. The cold temperatures will weaken the battery more than the summer heat does. Bring the vehicle in, and we can do a volt test for the battery. This will help to make sure that it is in good working order. If needed, we can also recommend a battery that you should buy in order to have the most reliable vehicle this winter.
Coolant checks are also important. This will help keep the engine from freezing up this winter. You should double check the coolant is not too low, and there are not any leaks. Along with the coolant, you will want to check the other fluids like the washer fluid and gasoline. Keeping the fuel tank at least half full can prevent water from freezing in the fuel pump. It will also be a good idea incase you need to drive in a sudden emergency to a place. The last thing you will want is to have an unexpected breakdown in the middle of winter.
