HOW TO GET YOUR CAR READY FOR FALL

Fall weather and road condition changes make preparing your car for the upcoming season essential. While fall is a beautiful season of breathtaking foliage, its cold temperatures can take a toll on your vehicle. At Dueck on Marine in Vancouver, British Columbia, your number one source for all your automotive needs, we want you to be sure your vehicle is ready for anything and are sharing our proven tips to prepare your vehicle for fall.

CHECK THE TIRES

Inspect your car tires to check their overall condition. They should have the right treads and pressure. If you notice uneven wear, you might want to consider rotating your tires, and unusual wear patterns could indicate you need an alignment. With the fall season comes a lot of rain and sometimes snow and ice, so ensure you install winter tires as soon as the temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius.

CHANGE OIL

Ensure you change your car’s oil before fall if your vehicle has reached the recommended interval. Regular oil changes improve your vehicle’s performance and efficiency. If you’re unsure of the interval, consult your vehicle’s manual since the period varies based on the car model and your driving habits.

SERVICE THE BRAKES

Cold weather conditions not only make roads slippery but also exacerbate brake problems. Take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic to service your braking system. A functional braking system facilitates quick reactions and enhances safety on the road.

SCHEDULE EV MAINTENANCE

It would also help to schedule comprehensive EV maintenance if your vehicle is partly or fully electric. Maintenance by qualified and experienced professionals will brace your vehicle for the fall season.
