Cross these items off your fall auto service checklist this season

 

Fall weather is upon us, which means it's time for another round of seasonal car care. Toyota of N Charlotte's auto service center is here to help! Explore this quick list of five auto service items you'll want to cross off your car care checklist before the season gets into full swing. And don't forget, you can make ALL of your auto service appointments at Toyota of N Charlotte. 



Don't skip these five critical auto service appointments 

#1: Check your battery. 

Driving all summer long can do a number on your car battery - the heat isn't kind to it. That's why it's important to have it checked as part of your fall auto service prep. Our Charlotte car care techs will inspect it visually to ensure they don't see cracks, rust, leaking, or swelling. They'll also test the voltage to ensure it's got enough life left in it to get you through the season. 

#2: Have your tires inspected by the pros. 

Before you hit the road this fall, have our Charlotte auto service center check your car tires. You'll want the right amount of tread and for them to be inflated to the proper level (and for them to be in good general condition overall). This way they can handle driving on wet roads and through loose leaves. 

#3: Fill all car fluids. 

Fill all of your car fluids in preparation for fall. The summer's heat can take a toll on them so it's critical to check and fill fluids like coolant, brake fluid, oil, wiper fluid, and power steering fluid. That will ensure you're ready to take on anything the season sends your way. Our Charlotte auto service techs can check and fill them for you. 

#4: Ensure your headlights are in good shape. 

Are your headlights, taillights, turn signals, and hazard lights all working properly? Have our auto service techs check them out if not. You'll also want to ensure all of your internal lights inside the cabin are working as they should. Remember, as daylight savings time ends you could find part of your drive time taking place in the dark, so you want ALL of the lights on your car to be in working order. 

#5: Make sure your defroster and heater are working. 

Make sure your defroster (for visibility) and your heater are working NOW, before you need them! It's better to be prepared for cold weather before it arrives. Test your defroster and heater and if they're not working, bring your car to Toyota of N Charlotte's auto service center for repairs before the cold rolls in.
