Tire Rotation
As the road conditions change and rain starts to fall, the street starts to get slick. Keeping traction is an important factor in safe driving and if you don’t regularly rotate your tires, then you can be driving with your components on the smooth side. When you rotate your tires, you’re ensuring your tread is intact so you’re always driving with a safe grip on the pavement. We recommend this maintenance procedure 6,000 to 8,000 miles, which could have been reached if you spent the summer driving in and around Goleta on vacation.
Heating System
With the temperatures starting to cool down, it might be wise for you to get your heater checked. Ensure you have the proper amount of coolant in your engine and fluid in your AC system, which will also keep you warm when properly maintained. Your filter should also be checked, since your seasonal allergies can flare up at any time of the year. When the weather changes people can get sick due to lowered immune defenses and your filter can become contaminated with particles from your last cold. Changing this part as well as checking the heating system will ensure you’re able to stay warm and comfortable. Schedule an appointment today!
Windshield Wipers
New windshield wipers should be installed in order to prepare yourself for the fall rain showers that may inhibit your line of sight. The proper wipers can be bought with the help of our Parts Department. They will order the right size components and ensure you’re able to see what’s ahead by getting our Service Department to install them correctly. The rubber part wears down with time, which can scratch your windshield, causing more damage in the long run.
