Fall Car Care Month at Coastal Chevrolet
Fall is right around the corner, and that means it’s more important than ever to make sure your Chevy is up to the task of getting you around Bakersfield during the colder months. That means making sure you prioritize regular service and maintenance for your vehicle, and that’s where we can be of assistance. During Fall Car Care Month, we strive to make sure your vehicle is prepared for anything the fall season can throw its way.
Let Coastal Chevrolet help you keep your vehicle running like new this fall season.
Fall Car Care Month Checklist
Battery Check
Since your battery will have to work harder during the colder months, make sure you have a battery inspection. The last thing you want is to have your battery not start or stop working.
Tire Inspection
Your tires’ air pressure levels can drop during the colder autumn months, so you’ll want to check your tire pressure levels more often during the fall season. You’ll also want to inspect your tires’ tread levels.
Heater / Defrost Check
The heater will help keep you warm during the fall, but your defrost function will help you see more clearly as you drive around Thousand Oaks, especially if frost forms on your car overnight.
Emergency Kit
Make sure to pack an emergency kit with you in case your car ever breaks down and you have to wait for help to arrive. Pack things like a blanket, food, jumper cables, batteries, a first aid kit, and a shovel.
Fall Maintenance FAQs
How often should you change your oil during the fall season?
It’s normally recommended to have your vehicle’s oil changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, but that number depends on your vehicle and driving habits. To get an exact amount, be sure to check your vehicle’s owner’s manual. During the fall season, we recommend checking your oil levels at least twice a month since oil can thicken during colder weather.
How long should I let my car warm up before driving it during the fall season?
You only need to let your vehicle warm up for about a minute or two after starting the engine. After that, it’ll warm up faster as you drive it around Ventura.
Are Chevy vehicles good for driving in the fall weather?
Chevy vehicles are built to be driven anywhere, any time. That’s why Chevy vehicles, like the ones at Coastal Chevrolet, are ideal for driving this fall.
