Car Maintenance Tips for Fall

posted on
The change of the season means a change in driving conditions and temperature in many parts of the country. Fall is the perfect time to get your car ready for winter weather before the snow hits the ground. It is necessary to prepare your vehicle for the switch in seasons. Your automobile needs to be ready to deal with the challenges that winter will start bringing up. The temperature and weather patterns can affect your vehicle’s abilities, so you should take some time to get your automobile checked out by your trusted auto repair shop to ensure it’s safe. Vancouver Tire & Auto in Vancouver, WA, offers a full list of auto services and tire services including brake repair, wheel alignments, engine diagnostics, new tires, and much more. Fall Auto Maintenance in Vancouver, WA

5 Crucial Fall Car Maintenance Services

Check Your Tires
 
Tires are crucial to the safety and effectiveness of your vehicle. Inspect your tires to make sure they have proper tread depth, and look for any signs of wear and tear such as bulges and bald spots. If you notice anything abnormal with your tires, bring your vehicle in, and we can check them for you. If you live in areas that get heavy snowfall, it is a good idea to get your winter tires put on your vehicle. 
 
Check and Change Your Fluids
 
Make sure that all of your car’s fluids are clean and topped off. When temperatures drop, fluids in your car can become more viscous, which may cause them to move more slowly through the engine. Check and change the transmission fluid, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, coolant, power-steering fluid, and motor oil.
 
Check Your Brakes
 
It’s important to know your brake system is fully prepared to take on winter weather. Stopping power is just as important as a properly running engine. Have your brakes inspected to identify any issue that needs to be repaired or replaced. You don’t want your brakes to fail when you’re trying to stop in snowy conditions.
 
Get Your Battery Tested
 
Inspect your car battery to make sure they’re tight, clean, and free of corrosion. Harsh winter weather can take a toll on your battery. We can test your battery strength for you and advise if it needs replacing. 
 
Check Wiper Blades, Defrosters, and Heater
 
Test your cooling and heating system to ensure proper functionality. The heater is essential to help keep your vehicle’s cabin warm as well as defrost your windshield for better visibility in the colder months. You’ll also want to check your wiper blades to make sure they’re not cracked, torn, or leave streaks across your windshield.
