5 Fall Car Maintenance Tips

The fall season is officially here! As glad you might be to finally break out your sweaters, boots and hats, colder weather can cause havoc to your vehicle. No matter how new or old your vehicle is, cold weather can have an impact on how it performs as well as your safety on the roads. There are some things you can do to prepare your vehicle, however. Here are five DYI fall car maintenance tips:

• Replace your wiper blades- With the rain, snow and salt that will inevitably cover your windshield in Utah, it's important to keep your wiper blades in good shape to keep you safe. 
• Check battery terminals and lights- Cold weather has a tendency to amplify battery and electrical issues. Check your battery for corrosion or loose cables so you don't end up having to call a friend for a jump. Battery terminals can be easily cleaned with a few inexpensive tools. We can also help you check your battery, and recommend needed maintenance. 
• Replace air filter- These should generally be replaced twice each year anyway. If you don't know where your air filter is, our team can assist you. 
• Top off fluids- You never know how nice wiper fluid is until you don't have any, and the morning commute has streaked your windshield with salt from the snow plows. Checking your antifreeze as well as your brake fluid are also must-do's before winter. 
• Check your tires- This includes your spare! Check your tire pressure regularly as fluctuating temperatures can affect this. You also want to be sure that your tread is at the appropriate level to keep you safer on slippery roads. Balding tires are a safety hazard, especially in the winter months. As always, our team can help you identify any needed tire replacements or adjustments. 

The absolute best thing you can do to prepare your vehicle for fall and winter is to bring it in and have the Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray team look it over and provide you with recommended work or simple adjustments. You can even schedule your appointment online for easy, convenient service. Be safe out there, and enjoy the season!
