As the vibrant hues of autumn begin to paint the landscape, it’s time to ensure your vehicle is as prepared for the season as you are. Fall is the perfect opportunity to perform essential maintenance on your car, ensuring it runs smoothly and safely through the cooler months. At NAPA AutoCare Centers of New Mexico, we’re here to help you navigate this seasonal transition with expert tips and unbeatable offers.

Why Fall Maintenance Matters

The shift from summer to fall brings changes in weather and road conditions. Falling leaves, varying temperatures, and potential early frosts can all affect your driving experience. By taking proactive steps in maintaining your vehicle now, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.

Key Maintenance Checks

1. Fluids: Start by checking all essential fluids, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Cooler temperatures can affect fluid levels and performance, so top off or replace them as necessary.
2. Brakes: With weather changes, the roads can become slippery. Ensure your brakes are in top condition to handle these conditions. Listen for any unusual noises and watch for longer stopping times, which might indicate the need for maintenance.
3. Tires: Inspect your tires for wear and tear. As temperatures drop, tire pressure can decrease, so keep them inflated to the recommended levels. Consider switching to all-season or winter tires if you plan to travel in areas with heavy rain or early snow.
