Fall Car Care Checklist in Aurora

In case you haven’t noticed, the weather is changing. It could be a matter of days before the temperatures go from 80 to 30 and back again. The leaves are already starting to fall. Before you know it, Fall will be in full effect, and your car needs to be ready for the drop in temperature. That is never a problem at Motor Cars Mitsubishi’s Aurora Mitsubishi. Our service team can prepare your car, truck, SUV, or van for the changing seasons.

A series of things need to be addressed before you take on the Fall and Winter. We don’t expect you to be able to conquer this list all on your own. Trust our team in Aurora to get your car up for the challenge. Schedule your visit, and let us handle the hard work.

Tire and Brakes

Perhaps no other system is as important when the leaves start to fall, and the Autumn rain starts to accumulate. You want to know that your tires and brakes are capable of being there when you need them most. Our team will rotate and balance your tires, so you get even wear. Or, if the tread is beyond saving, replace them with a reliable set of winter tires. The same goes for your brakes. Few things are as scary as stepping on your brakes only to realize they have worn out. We inspect your brakes and all their components to prepare you for any condition.

Filter and Fluid Replacement

Your car needs its oil, and other fluids changed every 6,000-to-10,000 miles. It becomes more important when the temperatures change. If you have the wrong oil viscosity, your engine works harder to operate and could cause long-term and expensive damage. We’ll get your powertrain operating smoothly and efficiently for one visit with our team.

Wipers & Lights

Visibility is a big concern in the Fall and Winter. Whether you are dealing with fog, rain, or snow, you want to make sure you are as visible as possible, and your windshield is clear.

Heating & Cooling System

If your heat isn’t working right, you could be in for a long, hard winter. The same goes for your AC. Let our service experts test out your system before you realize, too late it isn’t working the way it should. This includes flushing out your exhaust system to prevent carbon monoxide leaks.

Don’t be fooled by the sunny skies in October. November is right around the corner. And brings unpredictable weather along with it. Plan your visit now so you aren’t caught off guard by Mother Nature.
