Three Fall Car Care Tips

Don't let your vehicle be ill prepared for the fall and winter weather. Check out the tips below to make sure your vehicle stays in proper working order until spring.

1. While it is rare that your vehicles cabin will fill with deadly exhaust fumes, it is also good to have your vehicles exhaust system checked for any problems or leaks. Also, be sure a mechanic checks the vehicles floor boards and trunk for any small holes that could fuel the fumes. 

2.  A major item that can be left unchecked until disaster strikes is your vehicles transmission. Before going off on a long winter road trip, be sure your vehicle has had routine checks and fluid changes at the correct times to prevent any costly damage.  

3. During the fall and winter months, driving along icy roads and in snow can get extremely dangerous. In order to prevent yourself from getting stuck in a tough spot be sure your vehicle is always equipped with an emergency kit which includes: gloves, boots, blankets, flares, a small shovel, sand or kitty litter, tire chains, a flashlight, extra batteries, a cell phone, and an extra car charger. Also it's a good idea to keep a few “high-energy” snacks in your glove box.
