Summer is ending, and it's time to gear up for the back-to-school season. Whether you're driving your children to school or getting your car ready for a journey to college, it's essential to ensure your vehicle is in top condition.
1. Check Your Car’s Fluids
Before hitting the road, ensure your car's essential fluids are topped up. Check the oil level, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant. If any fluids are low, replace them before heading out. Neglecting to refill essential fluids can lead to engine damage, brake failure, and other costly repairs.
2. Inspect Your Tires
Your tires are the only point of contact your vehicle has with the road, making them one of the most critical components. Check the tread depth, tire pressure, and alignment. Replace any tires that are worn or damaged. Proper tire maintenance can significantly improve the safety and handling of your vehicle.
3. Test Your Battery
If your car's battery is over three years old, consider replacing it before the back-to-school season. A dead battery could leave you stranded on the side of the road, causing inconvenience and delays. Test drive it at Sill-TerHar Mazda in Broomfield, CO today.
