Winter is coming, but first comes fall! You may be ready for the change in season, but is your vehicle? The seasons can take a particular toll on your vehicle, so as a driver it is incredibly important to prep your vehicle for the coming change of season. Let’s look at some GMC service tasks to ready your vehicle for fall.
Check Your Battery
As the temperature gets colder, the battery in your car’s effectiveness may begin to wane. You certainly won’t make it very far with a dead battery. The last thing you want is to be stranded on a cold night, so make sure to test your battery and replace it if necessary.
Inspect Your Tires
Colder weather means more severe road conditions. Your vehicle’s tires are its first line of defense when faced with snow and ice, getting a tire inspection is a must-do. Check to ensure the tread depth is at least a penny deep for maximum effectiveness.
Fluid Flush
Colder temperatures mean the fluids within your vehicle’s engine are susceptible to freezing. Fluids like windshield wiper fluid and engine coolant can freeze while your vehicle is parked if the alcohol content is not high enough to prevent it. Flushing and changing your fluids to freeze-resistant versions can help prevent any engine mishaps.
Wiper replacement
Navigating through inclement weather can be difficult on its own, but it can be even harder without working windshield wipers to aid your visibility. Check to make sure the blades on your wipers aren’t cracked or broken, and maybe consider replacing them for winter wipers.
With the arrival of fall, it’s important to take the right steps to protect your vehicle. Make sure to ask about preparing for the coming months on your next trip to the Peruzzi Buick GMC Service Center
