The anticipation of a new school year can also mean lots of planning. In addition to purchasing school supplies and new clothes, now is the time to ensure your vehicle is ready for this time of year. Whether you're a college student heading back to campus or a parent who will be spending more time driving around Watsonville for drop-offs and pick-ups, there are some things you should keep in mind when it comes to auto maintenance. Consider these tips from MY Jeep Chrysler Dodge RAM.
Check Your Tires
Checking the air pressure in your tires is essential to safe vehicle operation and optimal fuel efficiency. To maintain safety, we also advise our Morgan Hill area customers to check the tread depth of their tires regularly. Our service team can replace worn or damaged tires for you. We also do repairs and provide tire rotations to help extend the life of your current set.
Top Off the Fluids
Now is probably a good time to change your oil if it's been a while since your last change. Other fluids are important to the smooth operation of your vehicle. Brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant should be checked as well. If levels are too low or fluids are dirty, you could experience an unwelcome breakdown.
Have Your Brakes Inspected
Worn rotors or pads could really spell trouble for Gilroy drivers. Let us inspect your brakes for safety and peace of mind. We can make repairs to avoid the risk of an accident.
Test the Battery
Another precaution you may want to take is testing your battery's power. A vehicle that won't start is definitely not something you want at back-to-school time.
