When you go outside recently, there is no denying that it is fall. The days are cooler and shorter, and there seems to be pumpkin in everything you eat and drink. Because the fall months have arrived, it also means that you will need to get your car ready for the months ahead. If you are unsure on how to do that, you don't need to worry. The team at Napoli Kia, located at 241 Boston Post Road in Milford, CT, is here to give you a checklist to ensure that your vehicle is prepared.
Get Your Vehicle Ready for Autumn Conditions
The autumn months bring many challenges to your vehicle. Getting your car optimized to face them is key to getting the best driving experience possible. Here are some of the items you may want to check as we head into the colder months:
Windshield Wipers
You should consider getting a new set of windshield wipers, so your vehicle can handle the various types of precipitation that can be encountered in this area. You will also want to make sure that you have enough windshield wiper fluid.
Tires
Your tires are very important to fall travel. You should consider changing over to a set of snow tires to deal with the snow that will be coming soon. Additionally, you'll want to get your tires inspected to make sure that they have the right tread depth, so you can get maximum traction and grip on the road. It is a good idea to start checking your tire pressure on a weekly basis.
Brakes
During the fall months, you may run into road conditions that may mean it takes your car longer to come to a complete stop. This means that your brake system should be inspected thoroughly to ensure a safe ride for you and your passengers. You should schedule a brake inspection for this to occur.
Oil
It is a good idea to make sure that clean oil is flowing through your engine. This will ensure that your engine components have the lubrication to keep you engine running at its optimal level. After all, an overheated engine can lead to some expensive car repairs.
