Fall Maintenance Checklist from the Service Center at Hanford Hyundai

While you’re busy getting ready for fall tailgates, cabin weekends, cozy bonfires, and more, don’t forget to schedule seasonal service for your vehicle. Fall maintenance is the perfect way to prepare for the incoming cold weather; it will allow you to take on every adventure this season without the headache of worrying about your car breaking down or suffering from inefficient performance. Learn more about our top fall service recommendations today.

Get an Oil Change

When it comes to seasonal maintenance, we first and foremost recommend oil changes. Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle; it’s essential for your engine to function optimally. Fresh oil whisks away dirt and debris, keeping your powertrain’s components clean, improving fuel efficiency, and preventing corrosion. In addition, oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine while you drive around Visalia and prevents it from overheating. After driving about 3,000 to 5,000 miles, your oil will degrade, requiring an oil change.

Prioritize to Seasonal Tire Care

Fall is just the right time to get ahead of your service requirements and schedule a tire service. While temperatures around Selma might not require a winter tire swap, tire maintenance is a crucial aspect of general vehicle upkeep and seasonal service. Even though you may not feel like tire service is particularly important unless you need a tire replacement, we can assure you that there are several benefits from taking proactive measures for your tires.

When you visit us for seasonal tire care, we can ensure your tires are wearing evenly, whether that means rotating them or just adding some air. We can make sure that you don’t need a tire replacement and will check for signs of balding or punctures. If your tires need to be replaced, we’ll always outfit your model with genuine OEM components, too. Even though you might not be at risk of encountering snow or black ice, the temperatures around Tulare are cooling down. This means that with every ten-degree drop in temperature, your tire pressure decreases by one PSI (pound per square inch). While we’ll inflate your tires when you visit us, tire pressure is important to keep an eye on. Seasonal tire care is an easy way to keep your travels fuel-efficient and secure your safety behind the wheel.

Arrange a Battery Check

When you’re traveling around Fresno and beyond, the last thing anyone wants is to experience a breakdown or loss of power. It can be especially frustrating to try to start your car before heading to work or pick up your kids, and it’s not starting. To prevent either of these situations, we recommend scheduling a seasonal battery check. The cold weather can affect the battery’s effectiveness, resulting in battery failure. However, we can easily check the battery for you and make any necessary replacements or repairs.
