Winter Automotive Maintenance

Cooler temperatures are beginning this week and it’s time to get your vehicle ready for the fall. Here are the Top 3 automotive maintenance items you need to keep tabs on as the weather starts to change:

1. Tire Pressure – As the temperature drops so does your tire pressure. Make sure to get your tires checked. As air cools, it condenses. For tires that means a 1 pound (PSI) drop in pressure for every 10 degree of air temperature.
2. Car Battery – Summer heat damages batteries. If yours is getting older, there’s a strong chance that cooler temperatures could be the last straw, leaving you stranded.
3. Coolant / Antifreeze – Make sure that your engine cooling system is ready for cold temperatures. If your anti-freeze mix isn’t right, a cold snap could spell trouble for your engine.
