Fall Maintenance
Why Car Maintenance for the Fall Season Deserves Attention
Fall is an excellent time to start thinking about getting your car ready for colder months ahead. The winter months require some extra attention from car owners. In particular, the
battery, tires, wiper blades, and HVAC system needs to be examined to determine if any repairs or replacements are required.
Battery Inspection
The colder weather can put extra strain on the battery. A certified technician can check if there is any corrosion on the terminals, and if it is a wet battery, they can check if the battery has adequate electrolyte levels. If it is
a sealed battery, the technician will be able to test for the battery’s charging capacity to determine if it needs replacement.
Tire Inspection
If you live in regions where there is snow, the tires become even more critical to your car’s safety and performance. If the tire tread has worn-out, you might need new tires. It is good to get your
tires rotated to improve their life and performance on the road. You also have the option of going with specialized winter tires that offer added traction for snow. Regardless of
snow, the tire pressure needs to be maintained at recommended levels throughout the year.
Wiper Blades
If the wipers are leaving streaks of water on the windshield or making a squeaking noise, it is time to replace the wipers. Regular checkup of wiper blades ensure you don’t run into a situation where there is rain or snow and your
wipers are not working. That can be a dangerous situation for the passengers in your car and other vehicles.
HVAC Inspection
As you might expect, the colder months will require the heater and defrost systems to work without any issues. If your car has heated seats or steering wheels, that needs to be working too. A technician can help test for all these
to make sure when the weather turns cold, you won’t have any HVAC related issues.
