CAR CARE

• Check tire pressure against the driver’s door label.
• Inspect tread for wear, cracks, or damage.
• Rotate tires according to your maintenance schedule.
• Plan for winter tires if needed for your climate.

• Have the battery tested before cold weather arrives.
• Check terminals for corrosion and loose connections.
• Have slow starting or dimming lights inspected.

• Check engine oil and follow recommended change intervals.
• Check coolant level and condition when the engine is cool.
• Inspect for leaks and check other fluids as your owner’s manual directs.
• Fill the washer reservoir with fluid rated for colder temperatures.

• Test headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights.
• Replace wiper blades that streak or skip.
• Clean windows, mirrors, and light lenses.
• Check the front defroster and rear window defogger.

Cooler temperatures, shorter days, and wet roads can put your vehicle to the test. Fall maintenance helps catch small problems before they become costly repairs and prepares your car for winter driving.

Checking your battery, tires, brakes, fluids, and lights helps keep your vehicle dependable when conditions change. It’s also a great time to make sure your heater, defroster, and wipers are ready for cold, rainy mornings.

Schedule your fall maintenance appointment today and drive into the season with confidence.
