While
summer may still be in full effect, it’s not too soon to start planning for
preparing your car for fall and winter. Our brakes only mobile service has your
brake maintenance needs covered, but there are some other things you should do
to prepare your vehicle as well:
Wash your car: This is a great time
to give your car a good cleaning. Wash off any bugs or other debris that could
hinder visibility, and then give your car a good waxing so that it will be
protected from salt, sand, or any other elements you will encounter when winter
weather arrives. Clean out the inside of your car while you’re at it too, you
may not be motivated to do so once it gets cold outside.
Wipers: Wipers should be replaced
every six months to a year, and you definitely want to make sure they’re in
good shape before the first snow fall. Old wipers may even end up smearing your
window when you use them, making your visibility worse rather than improving
it.
Heater: You don’t want to wait until
you need your heater to realize that it isn’t working! Test your heater and
defroster to make sure they are operating as they should.
