All seasonal car care is critical, regardless of whether or not we see fall foliage and get cool temps here in Clermont. That's why it's important to prepare your car for the fall season. Toyota of Clermont is here with five things to add to your fall auto service checklist so you're ready for whatever the season may send your way. Check it out!
Five auto service items to add to your fall checklist
1. Inspect your headlights and taillights.
Are all of your lights - inside and out - working well? As daylight savings time ends and your drive time shifts into the dark, it's important that your headlights, taillights, turn signals, and hazard lights are all in good working order every time you hit the road. This way you can see where you're going AND other drivers can see you, too. Have our Clermont auto service techs check things over if you have a light that refuses to shine.
2. Have your tires checked.
You should have your tires checked as part of your fall auto service routine. A summer spent driving on wicked hot pavement can put them through the wringer and you don't want to get stuck fixing a flat in the dark. Have your car tires inspected for general condition, for tread depth, and to ensure they're inflated to the proper PSI level.
3. Make sure your battery is in good shape.
A long hot summer can also do a number on your car's battery! Before you take on fall, have our auto service techs at Toyota of Clermont check your car's battery from top to bottom. They'll inspect it visually and look for signs of swelling, rusting, or leaks. They'll also be able to test the voltage to ensure it can still get your car up and running for a long time to come.
4. Check your defroster and heater.
We know, we know - we won't be needing the heaters for a while (if at all). But it's important to test your defroster and heater before cold weather actually arrives so if they need to be fixed, you can bring your ride to Toyota of Clermont ahead of time for repairs or service.
5. Top off all of your car fluids.
Top off all of your car fluids this fall. This means oil, coolant, wiper fluid, and even checking fluid like power steering fluid and brake fluid. Hot weather can take its toll on the fluids in your car and leave levels low, so top them off. This way you're ready to hit the road all fall long.
