October is Fall Car Care Month

Classic Toyota, a leading Toyota dealership in Waukegan, IL, wants to remind its valued Toyota customers that October is Fall Car Care Month. This Illinois dealership feels that fall is the ideal time to give your new Toyota car some extra attention before the harsh winter weather sets in.

 

Tires: On icy and snow-covered roads, your car’s tires make the difference between keeping a firm grip on the road or sliding into danger. Now that the temperature has dropped, check your tire pressure regularly. Cold temperatures can cause tires to lose air pressure. If you need new tires, Classic Toyota has a tire saving event (buy three tires and the fourth costs only a dollar).

 

Battery: If your Toyota Camry or Toyota Highlander is hard to start and has dim headlights when the engine is turned off, your battery is getting weak and should be replaced with a new Toyota TrueStart battery. It’s especially important to have a strong battery in winter to quickly start your car on cold mornings.

 

Wipers: During the winter, your windshield wipers are more important than ever. Getting a new set of wipers at Classic Toyota will ensure you always have a clear view of upcoming traffic and drivers. Scrape ice off your wipers before you run them.

 

Fluids: It’s a good idea to take a look at your Toyota car’s fluids for winter driving. These include antifreeze, motor oil, brake and battery cleaner, transmission and brake fluid. Check under the hood to ensure that your windshield washer reservoir is filled. If it’s time for an oil change, ask your Classic Toyota technicians whether they recommend a winter-weight oil for your vehicle.

 

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment at our Illinois Toyota dealership, call us. Our service technicians would be happy to help get your car prepared. We can’t wait to hear from you!
