When summer is appearing in our rearview mirror, it is time to prepare for the fall. Is your vehicle ready for the change in temperatures and the safety concerns as students return to school? It is time to start thinking about how these changes affect your car!
The last thing you need on a cold fall morning is a dead battery. Now is the perfect time to assess your car battery condition to ensure it’s going to start the engine when you need it. Battery inspection and tests not only involve checking the proper voltage but also making sure the battery cables are secure. Our technicians will also make sure your terminals are free of corrosion, and that your battery has the proper fluid level to prevent cell damage.
NOTE: If your battery hasn’t been replaced in the last five years, it is probably time to replace it!
It’s important to check your headlights and turn signals periodically, but it’s essential during fall. Soon, it will begin getting darker earlier, so make sure your headlights will be working to full strength. It’s equally unsafe if school buses and walking students are unable to see your vehicle because of inoperative headlights. Additionally, as your vehicle naturally ages, the headlight assembly can become hazy, dull, or cloudy; therefore, assess the quality of the lighting, as well.
Having your tires rotated this time of the year not only provides you with a safer vehicle, but it also prepares you for winter! While there may not be heavy snow predictions in Woodstock, there is always the probability of heavy rainstorms. Your tires, particularly the front tires, need to be able to disperse the downpour of rain from the tread to get the best traction. Therefore, rotating them now is advantageous for fall and throughout the winter. Also, check to ensure that the tires have the proper air pressure. Moreover, if your tires are below 1/8-inches in the tread, it’s time to replace them.
