Fall Driving.pngAutumn can be a beautiful bridge from warm summer days to our chilly winters. If your calendar is full of fall festivals and pumpkin patch visits, it’s important to make sure that your vehicle is prepared. That’s where Mercedes-Benz service comes in at Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills.

Inspect Your Heating System

While you may not consider fall weather cold, we all know that chilly days are ahead. You want to make sure that your heating system is ready. Now is also an opportune time to change your air filter.

Test Your Battery

Especially hot or cold weather can strain your battery. We recommend that you check your charge to make sure that your battery is still reliable.

Change Your Oil

We know summer months get busy and routine maintenance gets put off. If you haven’t recently, make sure that you schedule an oil change. As engine oil ages, it no longer functions effectively.

Inspect Your Tires

Fall streets can be slick due to matted leaves and rain. Double-check that your tires have at least 4/32 of an inch of tread so that you have the traction you need. You should also make sure that they are at the recommended PSI.

Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades

As a general rule of thumb, windshield wiper blades should be replaced annually. They are especially crucial during icy weather, so if yours aren’t working optimally, make sure to have them replaced.
