🍂 MAINTENANCE MONDAY 🚗🔧

Summer can be hard on your vehicle too!

After months of hot weather, road trips and summer driving, the end of summer is a great time to give your vehicle a little attention.

As we head into fall, consider checking:

🛞 Tires — tread, wear and pressure
🛑 Brakes — especially after lots of summer driving
💧 Fluids — make sure everything is at the proper level
🧹 Wiper blades — rainy season will be here before we know it!
🔋 Battery — summer heat can take a toll

A little maintenance now can help get your vehicle ready for the cooler, wetter months ahead. 🍂🌧️

🍂 FUN FACT FRIDAY! 🚗

Did you know your tire pressure can drop as the temperature outside gets colder? 🌡️🛞

As we say goodbye to summer and head into cooler fall mornings, you may notice that tire pressure warning light suddenly make an appearance.

🍁 Cooler temperatures = lower tire pressure

So if that little light pops on during one of our first chilly mornings, your tires may simply need some attention.

A quick tire pressure check is an easy way to start getting your vehicle fall-ready! 🚗🍂
