Preparing your vehicle for the fall helps preserve the vehicle’s lifespan, keeps you and your passengers safe, and helps you stay comfortable while driving around in colder months. If you want to feel extra secure, getting a pre-fall inspection at Bill Jacobs MINI is a great way to ensure your car is prepared.
An essential part of the process is performing a tire inspection to see what condition your tires are in and whether they can handle driving on wet roads. Without enough traction, your vehicle can slip and slide when you try to stop on slippery ground. The technicians at our tire department will monitor the tread level on the tires and inform you of the options for replacing them if needed.
First, we inspect the wiper blades to ensure you’ll see the road clearly while driving in the rain or light snow. Another critical task is to top-off the windshield washer fluid. We will also check the windshield for cracks and chips that may worsen with exposure to cooler elements.
Riding around in cooler temperatures without proper heating makes every day more unpleasant for you and your family. As part of your HVAC inspection, we check the heater, windshield and back window defroster, seat warmers, and steering wheel.
To make sure your engine keeps from seizing up in wet conditions or the cold, our technicians replace the coolant in your engine and add antifreeze. This will keep the engine from having problems once those frigid winter days come.
We check the brakes on your vehicle to ensure they are still responsive and do not need new pads, calipers, or rotors. This will ensure that if you have to hit your brakes in an emergency, the car will respond quickly. To finish up your inspection, we make sure you have a safety kit to help you in an emergency. Even with all the proper precautions taken, there can be problems that arise in the winter. Having a roadside safety kit means you are prepared for breakdowns or traffic issues.
