Fall Car Maintenance: Get Ready for Changing Temperatures

As the leaves begin to turn, Massachusetts drivers should prepare for cold mornings, rainy days, and the coming winter. Fall maintenance is about prevention and protection.

?? Check Your Brakes

Wet and slippery roads are common in the fall. Make sure your brakes are in top condition.

?? Battery and Charging System

Before cold weather hits, ensure your battery and alternator are working properly.

??? Inspect Tires and Rotate

Falling temperatures reduce tire pressure. Check PSI weekly and look for wear patterns.

??? Replace Wiper Blades

Don’t wait for a storm to find out your wipers don’t work well. Replace them before heavy rains arrive.

?? Heater and Defroster

Test your car’s heating and defrost systems to make sure you're ready for the cold mornings ahead.
