What Are Fall Auto Service Needs?
Change Your Oil
Your motor oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle and is what keeps it performing the way it was engineered to, by keeping the many moving pieces of your engine clean, lubricated, and cool to maximize horsepower, torque, and fuel economy. It’s always important to get your oil changed within the recommended mileage and time intervals outlined in your owner’s manual, but it become more important when the weather starts getting colder. Cold weather causes your motor oil to flow slower, and if it’s dirty, it can block the oil filter, cause engine wear, and limit the amount of lubrication to the moving parts. That’s why we encourage you to check your oil levels, how dirty it is, and visit us for a quick and convenient oil change today.
Change Your Lights
The days get shorter in the winter, meaning that you’ll be driving in the dark more often. That’s why it’s important to check all your lights, and if any are out, change them as soon as possible. We have the correct headlights, taillights, indicator lights, flood lights, and everything else for any vehicle and can change them for you in no time.
Check Your Battery
The last thing you need is to be stuck with a dead battery when you have somewhere to be. The colder temperatures in fall and winter cause a lot of stress to your battery and make it harder for it start your vehicle. We suggest checking your battery and cleaning off any corrosion from the terminals to start. The corrosion will make it harder to form a connection. You should also check the charge of your battery, as it takes more for your battery to start your vehicle when it gets colder. We can clean and check the charge of your battery, and if need be, we’ll replace your battery using a genuine replacement battery for your specific vehicle to ensure that your vehicle will start every time you turn the key or push the ignition button.
Change Your Windshield Wipers
It might seem minor, but having the properly working windshield wipers is one of the best things you can do for your vehicle in the winter. With inclement weather around Shiprock, it’s important that your windshield stays clear and easy to see out of. That’s why we have a range of winter windshield wipers that we can equip in minutes to help you drive with more confidence and the utmost visibility wherever you go around Durango.
Change Your Tires
Regardless of if your vehicle has front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive, the only way to maintain the proper traction and control in fall and winter weather is by having the right winter tires on it. We can put your current winter tires on or help you choose the right tires to fit your vehicle and driving needs in no time.
