Getting Your Car Fall-Ready: A Seasonal Checklist
Prepare Your Ride for Autumn with Bob & Sons Automotive
The leaves are beginning to change which indicates it's time to prepare your vehicle for the shifting weather conditions. Transitioning from summer to autumn requires some essential maintenance steps to ensure safety and performance. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to get your car ready for the fall season, and why partnering with Bob & Sons Automotive can make all the difference. Here are five important things to prepare your vehicle for the upcoming season.
1. We Will Check Your Tires
- Tire Pressure: The drop in temperatures can cause your tire pressure to decrease, affecting both performance and safety. Regular checks and maintenance of the recommended pressure are vital for optimal traction.
- Tread Depth: With the possibility of wet and slippery roads especially with leaves, ensuring your tires have sufficient tread depth is essential for maintaining grip and control. Bob & Sons Automotive also offers a comprehensive Tire Protection Plan!
2. We Will Replace Wiper Blades
Fall often brings increased rainfall and the occasional early snow (does anybody remember Storm Nemo!?). To ensure clear visibility, our automotive technicians will check your front + rear wiper blades for signs of wear. If they’re streaking or skipping, it’s time for a replacement.
3. We Will Inspect Your Battery
Cold weather and vast differences in temperature from morning to night can put extra strain on your vehicle's battery. Our team will check the battery terminals for any signs of corrosion and ensure it's holding a charge well to avoid unexpected breakdowns during chilly autumn mornings.
4. We Will Check the Fluids
- Antifreeze/Coolant: With colder temperatures, having adequate antifreeze levels is crucial to prevent your engine from freezing.
- Oil and Other Fluids: We encourage vehicle owners to regularly check and top off all essential fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, and brake fluid – and we’re here to help get it done! This keeps your vehicle running smoothly no matter what autumn throws your way.
5. Test Your Heater and Defroster
- Heater: Ensure your vehicle's heating system is fully operational to keep you comfortable during brisk drives.
- Defroster: An efficient defroster is key to maintaining clear visibility on foggy, frosty mornings. If either of these are malfunctioning, our skilled automotive technicians can diagnose and fix the issue to maintain your safety.
