1. Maintenance Checks
Regular maintenance = fewer repairs.
Important fall maintenance checks include:
- Checking fluid levels: Ensure your car has the required levels and fresh fluids, including:
- Engine oil
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Automatic transmission fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Inspecting the brakes and tires: Ensure the brake pads and tires aren’t worn out. If they are, get a tire change or brake pad replacement.
2. Service The Cooling System
Fall is sweater weather for a reason!
Servicing your cooling system will help your car’s heating function properly. Doing so will prevent a malfunctioning heater core or windshield defroster.
3. Fix The Battery
Do you know who hates the colder fall weather?
Car batteries.
They require more energy to perform in these temperatures. Cleaning the battery terminals and fixing connections before fall will help you avoid electric and starting issues.
4. Replace Broken Lights
Fall usually means less daylight and visibility.
So, ensure these lights function properly:
- Headlights (high and low beam)
- Fog lights
- Taillights
- Brake lights
- Turn signals
- Reverse lights
- Interior light
- Registration plate bulb
If they don’t, it’s best to get them replaced.
5. Fix Windshield Wiper Issues
Replace your windshield wiper blades if they don’t run smoothly.
You can’t have all those fall leaves piling up there!
