Introduction
Fall is a beautiful time in Fort Worth, but it also comes with unique weather changes that can impact your vehicle. The cool mornings and warmer afternoons mean fluctuating temperatures, which can lead to tire pressure issues and other problems. In this blog, we’ll discuss a few maintenance tips to keep your car in great shape throughout the fall.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Cooler temperatures can cause your tire pressure to drop, which affects your vehicle’s handling and fuel efficiency. It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure regularly, especially in the early mornings when temperatures are at their lowest. Properly inflated tires are safer and can save you money at the pump.
Inspect Your Battery
Batteries tend to fail more often during the transition from hot to cooler weather. The extreme summer heat can weaken your car battery, and when the temperature drops, that weakened battery can struggle to perform. Make sure to have your battery tested and replace it if it’s nearing the end of its lifespan.
Check Wipers and Lights
Fall weather often brings rain, and you want to make sure your windshield wipers are in good condition. Replace any wipers that are worn or leaving streaks. Also, shorter days mean you’ll be driving in the dark more often, so make sure your headlights, taillights, and fog lights are working properly for safe driving.
Check Your Brakes
With school back in session and busier roads, now is the time to make sure your brakes are in top condition. Listen for any grinding or squealing noises and feel for any vibrations when you press the brake pedal. If anything feels off, bring your car in for an inspection.
