Keep Your Car in Check Before the Fall Frights Begin
/
October marks Fall Car Care Month, the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is ready for changing weather, busier roads, and shorter days. With Georgia’s cooler mornings and wetter conditions on the way, Almost Auto Service in Clarkston is here to help you avoid those seasonal “scares” — under the hood, on the road, or in your driveway.
What Is Fall Car Care Month?
Promoted by the Car Care Council, Fall Car Care Month is a nationwide effort to help drivers get ahead of preventable breakdowns before winter weather hits. Here in Georgia, we may not deal with snow, but we still see:
Temperature shifts that affect tire pressure and battery performance
Rain and wet leaves creating slick roads
Reduced daylight impacting visibility and driving safety
Fall Car Care Checklist
Our ASE-certified team recommends a few essentials to keep your vehicle road-ready through the fall season:
Battery Test
Cooler temps are tough on older batteries. We’ll make sure yours is ready to go on cold mornings.
Brake System Inspection
Falling leaves, damp roads, and more traffic require strong, responsive brakes.
Tire Rotation and Pressure Check
Proper traction is key this time of year. We’ll rotate and inspect your tires and check alignment.
Wiper Blade Replacement
Don’t let rain or fog reduce your visibility. Fresh wiper blades are a small investment in safety.
Fluid Check and Top-Off
We'll inspect coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer levels to keep your systems protected.
Heating and Defrosting System
Make sure your heater and defroster are working before you're stuck with a fogged-up windshield.
Don't Ignore the Warning Signs
If your check engine light is glowing or you hear strange noises, now’s the time to get it looked at. Putting off repairs could leave you with a surprise breakdown — the last thing you need this season.
