As we enter October, the fall weather is upon us. During this transition from summer to fall, the weather changes can be problematic to your vehicle. Any repairs and maintenance on your car should be completed as soon as possible to avoid further damage in the winter. 

Here are our top repair and maintenance tips for fall and why now is the perfect time to complete them: 

Repair Dings & Dents to Prevent Further Damage

Even if a dent looks small, it still creates an opening for water to get in. If you have any dings or dents on your car that have removed paint, you should make a repair appointment sooner rather than later. If left alone during the fall and winter months, rainwater can enter the dent and cause rust. Plus, leaving a dent for too long can cause the paint to peel away as the weather takes its toll on the exterior. No matter how small the dent, scratch, or ding may look, it can quickly become a much larger, more expensive problem than it needs to!

Repair and Replace Cracked Windshield  

The size and severity of your cracked windshield will determine whether it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. If the crack is relatively small and doesn’t obstruct the view on the driver’s side, you can most likely take it in for a quick repair. However, if the damage is significant, it may compromise the window as a whole. If left alone, it could come out during a collision and possibly cause the roof of your car to collapse.

Inspect & Replace Windshield Wipers  

With more intense weather conditions coming soon, it’s essential to ensure that you have the best visibility possible while driving. You’ll know if your windshield wipers need replacing if they make loud squeaking sounds, water is leaving blurriness on the windshield, or if the rubber part of the wiper is cracked. 

Inspect, Repair, and Replace Tires 

It’s good to check your tires year-round to make sure that the tread isn’t too worn out, but it’s especially important before the weather starts changing. Even if you don’t experience extreme weather changes, driving with quality tires can drastically improve overall vehicle performance.
