Fall is a great time to inspect your car battery to ensure there are no issues down the road when the colder weather creeps in!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your engine cables and terminals are in good shape and retighten if necessary for good contact.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure there\u2019s no corrosion or dirt build-up. If this is the case, this would be a good time to disconnect and clean them up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your vehicle is newer and you have a maintenance-free battery with no removable caps, there\u2019s not much for you to do besides peeking around the remainder of your hood to ensure there are no leaks, breaks, or issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headlights:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many new vehicles have LED headlights that you can\u2019t just pop out and clean, so you might need scheduled maintenance with our team if this is your situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you still have non-LED lighting, it\u2019s important to clean\/replace your headlights to avoid haziness.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clouded headlights can be a safety hazard, compromising night vision, and reducing the effectiveness of your headlights. This is especially dangerous in winter, where conditions are less than favorable and the darkness is more consistent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can purchase a headlight cleaning kit, or use household items such as a toothbrush, baking soda, and owner\u2019s manual approved products.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tires:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tire maintenance is always a must, not just during winter months. However, your tires play a crucial role in your vehicle\u2019s winter performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you should do is to check your tire tread. When you tread is 2\/32&#8243; your tires are considered bald and you will need to replace your tires immediately. If your tire tread is above this you\u2019re okay, but should consider replacing soon if it\u2019s closer to balding.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most vehicles are purchased with all-season tires, which provide good performance all-year-round. However, if you live in a very snowy area, we highly suggest purchasing snow tires.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your tires are on and in good condition, we suggest scrubbing away any dirt, grime, or buildup.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wash &amp; Wax:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are your vehicle needs a good washing after all your summer travel. Between dirt, dead bugs, and even beach sand, your exterior probably isn\u2019t shining like it used to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your vehicle a good cleaning, this means the top, sides, underneath, and even the tires.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve washed your car, it\u2019s a good idea to wax your vehicle\u2019s exterior. Getting a car wax is a great way to keep your car\u2019s finish looking new.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waxing can be tricky, so be sure to check your owner\u2019s manual for safe products from your vehicle or leave it to the pros in our service department!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wipers:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windshield wipers maintenance is regularly overlooked. However, your wipers are extremely important for your vision behind the wheel&#8230;especially in the fall and winter months.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaves will be falling very soon, and rain is no stranger to the fall months. This means you\u2019ll need strong wipers to clear the leaves and rain off your windshield.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right after the leaves comes the snow, and anyone who has driven in a snowstorm knows how important your winters are.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If your wipers are leaving streaks of water on your windshield, it\u2019s time to replace or clean them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although drivers rarely change them, wipers break down pretty quickly. In fact, they should be changed every 6-12 months.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interior:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to say goodbye to the trash that\u2019s taken up a vacancy in your car! After traveling all summer long, it\u2019s only normal your interior needs a little pick me up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We suggest grabbing a garbage bag, your vacuum cleaner, and some multi-surface cleaner.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First started by taking everything out, and we mean everything!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, vacuum away crumbs, dust, and whatever else is in there. Don\u2019t forget to clean off whatever item you\u2019ll be putting back in your vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then it\u2019s time to dust, spray down your dash, console, gear shift, radio system, and of course windows!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, put whatever you\u2019re keeping back inside your cabin in a neat and orderly way, and toss whatever is remaining!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\">\n<div class=\"cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngernissan.com\/service-appointment.html\"><button class=\"cta_button\"> Click Here To Schedule Your Fall Service! <\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"social-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fredericknissan\/\"><img id=\"find-us-live\" src=\"https:\/\/clients.oomdo.com\/blog_dev\/images\/find-us.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, fall!
