Check all of your lights:
- Check all of your operational lights including headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights, and emergency lights. Replace any and all broken or worn out lights. Take a step further and clean all of your lights to ensure you can see others and others can see you.
Replace Wiper Blades
- Even in the fall, we experience lots of rain, and then when the winter months arrive we will be dealing with snow as well. Do yourself a favor and replace your old worn down wiper with some shiny new ones that will help you see in any condition.
Make sure heater/defroster works
- You will hate yourself when you wake up to a frosted window and a broken defroster. Aka you will be out in the freezing cold while it’s pitch black out scraping the ice off your window...avoid this awful scenario and make sure your heat is working properly!
Have your battery checked
- A fully charged battery is necessary for the cold weather. The cold weather can actually kill your battery faster than warm weather, so make sure your battery is all charged up to avoid being stranded in the cold!
Refill cooling system
- It’s always a good idea to check your coolant level! if the level is too low, add a 50/50 solution of water and coolant to allow proper antifreeze capability. It may be necessary to refill the cooling system.
Check all fluids
- While you’re at it, check all of your fluid levels! This includes windshield washer fluid, transmission, brake, and power steering fluids. Make sure they are all at or above minimum safe levels and refill as necessary.
