Fall Season Is Finally Here…Time for Auto Maintenance

There’s no denying autumn is here with so many alluring changing colors, crisp breezes in the air, and holiday fun right around the corner. However, the dropping of temperatures also means you’ll want to gear up your car for the new weather—but is there a place you’ll want to start? After all, auto maintenance covers many parts of your vehicle. No need to worry, as today, we’ll help with our top fall car maintenance tips to help you optimally prepare for the fall weather. Also, schedule your autumn service to help your vehicle dominate the roads ahead in the next few months at Lupient Kia of Milwaukee near Waukesha, WI.

Warming Up to Autumn—Start Inside Your Car

It’s no surprise that downright cold days are ahead—but that’s not a problem when you get your Kia vehicle ready for the chilled cruises you have planned. To begin, have our technicians check and top off your antifreeze levels to help your engine levels remain regulated and to assist your powertrain parts in avoiding freezing, helping your vehicle seamlessly start when you kick off a morning commute or weekend adventure.

Next, snow and rain are common elements of the autumn weather, so check your windshield wipers to help ensure you’re ready to wick the moisture off your windshield and boost your visibility. Also, wildlife is more likely to walk across the roadways—especially as you begin to travel outside the city—so, check your headlights and fog lights (and schedule a replacement when needed) to help spot deer and debris in the road while reducing your odds of a collision.

Don’t forget your personal comfort during these cold season drives—which is why it’s a good idea to have our technicians inspect your climate systems. Start with the basics like your heater to help ensure you and your passengers can get cozy on the go without needing to bundle up for the entire cruise. Also, double-check that your heated seats and multi-zone climate controls are geared to help you and your riders warm up quickly during an evening drive for a first-class experience.

Stay on Schedule: Cover Your Maintenance Basics

On top of optimizing your Kia model for the cold weather, you’ll also want to keep up with all your service essentials this fall—especially your oil. Every 7,500-10,000 miles, schedule an oil change to help prevent early wear and tear in your engine—especially since you’ll help your powertrain properly cool during epic adventures in an SUV like your Telluride.

Are you looking for the ultimate launch in your stinger or to optimize your fuel economy in your Sportage? You’ll need fresh tread on your tires to get the job done—and for an easy trick, you can insert a coin head-first into the grooves to see if it’s time for a new set.

To finish off, top off your fluids and confirm your battery is working near full levels. After all, you won’t want to miss a critical work presentation or delay your adventure because your motor refused to crank—avoid asking for a jump start by replacing your power source when needed—especially since the cold weather can cause your battery to drain 60% faster than usual.
