With fall on the way, it’s more important than ever to make sure you properly service and maintain your vehicle. With colder temperatures and changing road conditions, your vehicle will need a specific kind of upkeep to drive around New Orleans efficiently this fall. Luckily, our service team has everything you need to know about fall maintenance to help you get where you need to go without a hitch this fall season.

Take a look at our fall maintenance tips, and for all of your service and maintenance needs, rely on Premier CDJR of Harvey.

Fall Car Care Month Checklist

Battery Check

Colder weather causes your battery to have to work harder than normal, which is why we recommend having your battery inspected before fall arrives. If you need a new battery, schedule a battery replacement with Premier CDJR of Harvey.

Tire Inspection

You’ll want to have your tires inspected to make sure that they have enough tread to last through the fall season. Since colder weather can cause the air pressure in your tires to drop, you’ll also want to keep an eye out on your tires’ air pressure levels during the fall. You can do so with a tire gauge, which is inexpensive and can be purchased online through our parts store.

Heater/Defrost Check

Some of the systems we highly recommend having inspected before the fall season are the heater system and the defrost system. Your heater will keep you warm during those colder fall months around Metairie while your defrost system will help you see through your windshield if it frosts over.

Emergency Kit

There are few things worse than having your car break down on the side of the road, especially during the chillier fall months. If this happens, you don’t want to be caught without an emergency kit. We recommend packing your emergency kit with a blanket, food, jumper cables, batteries, a first aid kit, and a shovel.
