Pencils, check. Crayons, check. Backpacks, check. But is your car ready for the back-to-school rush? As the new school year approaches, ensuring your vehicle is in top shape is as important as buying school supplies. At Foreign Autohaus, we understand the importance of safety and reliability, especially during this busy season. Here are some important car maintenance tips to keep you and your family safe on the road.
Check Your Brakes: Your brakes are crucial for safety. If you notice any squeaking or reduced braking efficiency, it's time to get them inspected and possibly replaced.
Inspect Tires: Make sure your tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread. Uneven wear or bald spots can lead to dangerous blowouts. Rotate your tires regularly for even wear.
Top Off Fluids: Ensure all important fluids, including oil, coolant, and brake fluid, are at the recommended levels. Low fluids can affect your car's performance and lead to potential damage.
Test Your Battery: A weak battery can leave you stranded. Have your battery tested to ensure it holds a charge, especially if it’s more than a few years old.
Check Lights and Wipers: Proper visibility is essential. Replace any burnt-out bulbs and worn-out wiper blades to ensure you can see and be seen in all weather conditions.
