ππ OCTOBER CAR CARE TIPS FROM AUTO DYNAMICS
1. π Check Your Battery
Florida heat can be hard on batteries. If yours is around 3 years old or older, October is a good time to have it tested.
2. π Check Your Tires
Look for uneven wear, cracks, low tread, and proper inflation. Florida's heat and rain can be tough on tires, and good tread is especially important on wet roads.
3. π§οΈ Don't Forget Your Wipers
If your wipers are streaking, skipping, or leaving sections of the windshield uncleared, it's time for a replacement. October is a great month to make sure you're ready for those Florida downpours.
4. π‘ Check ALL Your Lights
Headlights, brake lights, turn signals, hazards and backup lightsβmake sure they're all working. Being seen is just as important as being able to see.
5. π Listen to Your Brakes
Squeaking, grinding, vibration or pulling when braking shouldn't be ignored. A small brake issue can turn into a much bigger repair.
6. π‘οΈ Check Your Fluids
Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid and windshield washer fluid should all be checked according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
7. π΄ Florida Fall Tip: Check Your A/C
Yes, it's Octoberβbut this is Florida! π Your A/C isn't going anywhere. If it's blowing warm, making strange noises or struggling to keep up, don't wait until the next hot day to find out there's a problem.
