The days are getting shorter, the air is crisp, and the leaves are beginning to fall. The first signs of winter are approaching, so it’s time to check your fall vehicle maintenance. Once the temperature drops, your vehicle’s performance can be affected. Follow this checklist to ensure you’re ready once the winter weather hits.

Check Your Heater & Defroster

You probably haven’t used your vehicle’s heater since last spring, so test that every vent is blowing hot air. Also, check your front and rear defroster to ensure they are working and venting heat. If it takes too long, consider servicing your heater and defroster systems. You’ll thank yourself in January.

Steering and Suspension

Schedule an appointment with our service department to review your steering system, suspension, and front-end alignment. We recommend getting this done at least once a year, and before winter sets in is always a good time.

Have Your Brakes Checked

If you notice anything wrong with your brakes, bring your vehicle in for a brake inspection. Brake pads will wear out over time, and you don’t want your brakes to fail when trying to stop in snowy conditions.

Check Your Tires

Your brakes are one of your vehicle’s most important parts; don’t take them for granted. Do your tires have noticeable wear? How’s your tire pressure? Changes in the weather cause tire pressure to fluctuate; if you’ve been putting off new tires, look at our specials. It’s easier than putting yourself and your family at risk this winter.

Refresh Your Winter Safety Kit

You probably already have a winter safety kit in your car but take a few minutes to check and make sure you have a space blanket, a few pairs of gloves, an ice scraper (two is better!), a first aid kit, some granola bars, and bottled water, at the very least.

Replace Windshield Wipers & Check Washer Fluid

Sun damage over the summer can cause windshield wipers to crack, so you should check them before lousy weather happens. Replace your windshield wipers and check your washer fluid to ensure you’re ready for winter. This is also an excellent time to inspect your windshield. If you notice any cracks or chips, call our team to have it checked.

Get Your Oil Changed

If you’re at your recommended oil change time (check your owner’s manual), change your oil. Old oil that needs to be changed will be even more sluggish due to the cold and contaminants. Pay attention to your oil change sensor and take advantage of our oil change specials today!

Check Engine Light

When your car’s Check Engine light is on, it means there is a problem with your vehicle. If you’ve been driving with the Check Engine light on, you should schedule an appointment with us to determine the issue. Don’t head into winter driving with an undiagnosed issue that could be a significant problem.

Check For Battery Problems

We put more demands on our cars in cold weather. What might have seemed like a little issue in the summertime could quickly result in a dead battery in the winter. If you notice your lights are dimmer or you hear an odd sound when you start your car, a low battery could be the cause.

Replace the Cabin Air Filter

A clogged cabin air filter can dramatically reduce airflow through your car’s heater, stressing the blower motor and the engine. Having the filter replaced at your next checkup will save you time and money in the long run.

Check All of Your Lights

This one’s easy. Just walk around your vehicle with your lights turned on. Check the headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights, and emergency flashers. If there are any broken bulbs, we can replace them at your next service appointment if you haven’t replaced them yourself. If they’re all working, make sure your lights are clean. You’ll feel a lot safer with better visibility this winter.

Give Your Car a Full Cleaning

Take your car to your local car wash and completely clean it inside and out. Make sure to vacuum the interior too. Taking care of your vehicle inside and out ensures you’ll get the most resale value if and when you sell or trade it in.

Regular maintenance gives your vehicle a longer life and helps you stay safer on the road. At Spitzer Ford Cuyahoga Falls, we understand and want your car to last as long as possible after you check out our service specials. Schedule service with us today.

We look forward to seeing you!
