Are you trying to become a better defensive driver? It definitely has its perks - defensive driving is a great way to prevent yourself from getting into accidents and collisions, as well as keep yourself, your passengers, AND other drivers out on the road safe. However, it's not just a set of skills - to be a good defensive driver, you need to ensure that your car is up to the task as well. Toyota of Clermont is here with four essential car maintenance appointments for you to consider to enhance your defensive driver skills. Check it out!
Essential car maintenance appointments to make
1) Tire maintenanceYou want your tires to be in the best shape possible every time you hit the road. To be a good defensive driver, you need them to be fully inflated to the proper PSI and have enough tread for good traction. This means you should bring your ride to Toyota of Clermont so our techs can measure the tread, check tire pressure, and inspect your tires for any damage or excessive wear and tear that's leaving you prone to blowouts. You should also be on a tire rotation schedule to avoid uneven wear and traction on your tires.
2) Brake service
Being able to come to a safe stop quickly is a huge part of being a good defensive driver. Brake service is imperative - you need our Clermont auto service techs to inspect the brake system, add more brake fluid when necessary, and replace worn brake pads (and in some instances, worn rotors). Be sure to get on a brake service schedule with our techs so you can have confidence in your braking capabilities every time you hit the road - it can help you avoid a collision or accident.
3) Windshield wiper replacements
Working windshield wipers are essential if you're driving in the rain or snow. They keep your windshield clear so you can easily see where you're going as well as avoid any hazards that may spring up in your path. Our techs can check your wiper blades to ensure they don't need to be replaced and if you're due for a new set, you can shop our parts store for a varied selection.
4) Headlight checks
Headlights are an imperative part of being a good defensive driver. You should have them on while driving in rain or snow as well as from dusk to dawn. They allow you to see the roadway better (and anything that crosses your path), and they also allow other drivers to see YOU better. If your headlights are hazy, schedule restoration at Toyota of Clermont. Our techs can also replace cracked casings as well as put new bulbs in when you need them.
