🥶 FALL MAINTENANCE #5: YOUR COOLING SYSTEM

Englewood drivers may think about cooling systems when a vehicle overheats in the summer. But your cooling system matters in cold weather too.

A problem that starts with low coolant, an aging hose or a small leak can eventually turn into a much bigger repair.

Here are some things to watch for:

💧 CHECK YOUR COOLANT LEVEL

Low coolant can lead to overheating, poor cabin heat and other problems. If you keep adding coolant, don't just keep topping it off. Find out where it's going.

🧪 WHEN WAS YOUR LAST COOLANT FLUSH?

Antifreeze doesn't last forever. Coolant breaks down over time, and the correct service interval depends on your vehicle and the type of coolant it uses.

If you can't remember the last time your coolant was changed, check your maintenance records and see what your vehicle manufacturer recommends.

🔍 LOOK FOR LEAKS

Hoses, the radiator, water pump, thermostat housing, reservoir and connections can all develop leaks.

A small coolant leak can become a big problem when the coolant level gets too low.

👃 SMELL ANTIFREEZE INSIDE YOUR CAR?

A sweet coolant smell coming through the vents can be a warning sign of a leaking heater core.

You may also notice:

🪟 Windows fogging or icing up on the inside
💧 Damp or wet carpet inside the vehicle
🔥 Weak or inconsistent heat

Don't automatically assume inside window fogging or icing is just winter weather. Excess moisture in the cabin can have several causes, and a leaking heater core is one of them.

🌡️ WATCH YOUR TEMPERATURE

If the temperature gauge starts climbing, an overheating warning appears, or you see steam or lose coolant, don't ignore it.

An overheated engine can cause serious damage. Excessive heat can damage a head gasket and, in severe cases, warp or crack engine components. A failed head gasket can also allow coolant into the engine oil and cause major internal engine damage.

That's a lot more expensive than finding a cooling-system problem early.

😂 Because "I'll just add some coolant" isn't a repair plan.

🛞 FALL MAINTENANCE #4: TIRES & ALIGNMENT

Your tires are the only thing connecting your vehicle to the road. Fall is a good time to make sure they're ready for changing weather and road conditions.

Things worth checking include:

🛞 Tire tread
Worn tread means less traction, especially on wet roads. Uneven wear can also point to other problems.

💨 Tire pressure
Tire pressure changes with temperature. Driving on underinflated tires can affect handling, fuel economy and tire life.

🔍 Uneven tire wear
Wearing more on one edge or in certain spots can be a sign of alignment, suspension or tire problems.

⚙️ Wheel alignment
A vehicle that pulls to one side, has an off-center steering wheel or wears tires unevenly may need an alignment.

🔄 Tire condition
Cracks, bulges, damage and aging can all be reasons to have a tire inspected.

The good news?

Catching uneven wear or alignment problems early can help extend tire life and prevent you from buying tires sooner than necessary.

Don't wait until your tires are worn out or your vehicle starts pulling to one side.

😂 Or share this with someone whose steering wheel has been pointing one way while the car goes another.

If you haven't had your tires and alignment checked recently, fall is a good time to have them inspected.

🔋 FALL MAINTENANCE #3: BATTERY & CHARGING SYSTEM

Your battery and charging system work together every time you start and drive your vehicle.

Fall is a good time to make sure they're both ready for the months ahead.

Here's what should be checked:

🔋 Battery condition
A battery can lose its ability to hold a charge as it ages. Corrosion and internal wear can also affect performance.

⚡ Alternator & charging system
The alternator recharges the battery while the engine is running. A charging problem can leave you with a dead battery.

🔌 Battery terminals & connections
Loose or corroded connections can cause starting and electrical problems.

🔧 Serpentine belt
The alternator depends on the belt that drives it. A worn or damaged belt can create bigger problems.

💡 Warning signs
Slow cranking, dimming lights, electrical problems or a battery warning light are reasons to have the system checked.

A battery and charging system inspection now can help prevent an unexpected no-start later.

🔧 **FALL MAINTENANCE #2: BELTS & HOSES**

A worn belt or aging hose might not seem like a big deal. Until it leaves you stranded or turns into a much more expensive repair!

As temperatures change and winter approaches, it's a good time to have your vehicle's belts and hoses checked.

**Things worth checking include:**

🔧 **Serpentine belts**
Cracks, fraying or excessive wear can lead to belt failure. Depending on the vehicle, a failed belt can affect important systems like the alternator, power steering or water pump.

💧 **Coolant hoses**
Cracked, swollen, brittle or leaking hoses can cause coolant loss and overheating.

🔍 **Leaks & loose connections**
Small leaks or loose connections can become bigger problems if they're ignored.

⚙️ **Belt tension & condition**
A belt that's too loose, damaged or wearing unevenly may squeal, slip or fail.

**The good news?**

Catching wear early can help you avoid an unexpected breakdown and potentially more costly repairs.

**Don't wait until a belt snaps or a hose lets go.**

🛑 FALL MAINTENANCE #1: BRAKES

Your brakes may still be working fine. That doesn't mean everything in the braking system is working the way it should.

A fall brake inspection can uncover problems before they turn into expensive repairs or leave you stuck on the side of the road.

Things worth checking include:

🛑 Brake pads & rotors
Worn pads can eventually damage rotors and turn a smaller repair into a much bigger one.

🔧 Sticking caliper pins
A seized or sticking caliper pin can cause uneven pad wear, overheating and premature brake damage.

💧 Brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. Depending on the vehicle and condition of the fluid, a brake fluid flush may be recommended.

🔍 Brake fluid leaks
Leaks can develop at calipers, hoses, lines and, on vehicles with drum brakes, wheel cylinders. A small leak can become a serious safety problem.

⚙️ Brake hoses & lines
Age, corrosion and damage can cause problems that aren't always obvious from behind the wheel.

The good news?

Finding these problems early can often mean a smaller repair instead of waiting until something fails.

Don't wait until your brakes start grinding, pulling or feeling different.
