An autumn car checkup is essential for transitioning from summer sunshine to unpredictable Fall weather. At Pat’s Garage in San Francisco we recommend a thorough inspection, including four key areas:
Battery Check: A battery that appears healthy during summer warmth, may fail under the strain of cold autumn morning. Checking the battery prevents sudden failures and no-start situations.
Tire Inspection: Dropping temperatures reduce tire pressure. Checking pressure and ensuring adequate tread depth lowers the risk of hydroplaning on slick, wet roads.
Brake Evaluation: Reliable stopping power is critical on slippery autumn roads.
Visibility Check: heating/defrosting system needs to be fully operational during cold mornings, and the windshield wipers need to efficiently remove water during rain – this is not only vital for the driver, but also for the those ADAS systems that use behind-the-windshield cameras.
