Keeping up on Seasonal Maintenance for Fall

After the brutal high temperatures of the summer months, many people look forward to fall’s arrival. Even if you don’t live in an area where the leaves change colors and the temperatures drop significantly, the transition from summer to fall means that it is time to check your automobile.

Fall can create different challenges for your car than summer brought. As the frost begins to hit the pumpkins and college football gets into the heart of its schedule, make sure that car maintenance is at the top of your fall plans.

The Rubber Meets the Road

In colder weather areas like Toledo, OH, fall brings with it the impending arrival of cold weather and the possibility of ice and snow. Make sure your car’s tires have adequate tread for the change in fall temperatures and weather conditions.

Rain, ice and snow can create danger for those who drive on underinflated tires or tires that have worn tread. Rotating tires, especially on front-wheel-drive vehicles, can make a big difference in safe travels down the road.

When to Replace Wiper Blades

When was the last time you checked your windshield wipers? Fall is a great time to check your wipers to ensure they will provide the proper visibility once the rain, sleet and slush of fall and winter arrive. Replace your wiper blades if they are cracked or have become partially detached, or are making noise. The most obvious clue that it’s time to replace wiper blades will be the wiper’s ineffective performance in clearing rainwater from your windshield.

Light Up the Way to a Safe Fall

No matter where you live, the arrival of fall means shorter and darker days are ahead. In many areas, the sun goes down before you even get off work in the evening after “falling back” and adjusting the clock one hour for fall.

That’s why fall is a great time to check your headlights to make sure that they will shine brightly during those shorter fall days when you will be driving in the dark more frequently.
