The leaves are changing colors, and the air is getting crisp; fall has arrived in North Texas. As you get ready to enjoy all the season has to offer, from Friday night football games to weekend trips to see the foliage, don't forget that your vehicle needs some TLC too. Fall is the perfect time to take care of some key vehicle maintenance items to ensure your car or truck is ready for the coming winter months.
At the service center at Freeman Toyota in Hurst, our factory-trained technicians are here to help with all your fall vehicle maintenance needs. We invite you to learn more about some of the most important service items to take care of this fall.
Check Your Brakes
Your vehicle's brakes are one of its most critical safety features. As the weather gets colder and wetter, it's especially important to make sure your brakes are in top condition. If you've noticed any squeaking, grinding, or vibrating when you brake, it's definitely time for an inspection. Our technicians will check your brake pads, rotors, and fluid and let you know if any repairs or replacements are needed to keep you stopping safely on Fort Worth streets.
Change Your Oil and Filter
Regular oil changes are essential for keeping your engine running smoothly and extending its longevity. If it's been a while since your last oil change or you've hit the mileage interval recommended in your owner's manual, fall is a great time to get it done. We'll drain and replace your oil with a high-quality synthetic blend and install a new oil filter to keep things flowing freely, even on chilly mornings around Euless.
Rotate and Balance Your Tires
Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road, so it's critical to make sure they're in good shape. Balancing and rotating your tires regularly helps them wear evenly, which extends their life and improves your fuel efficiency. If you're due for a rotation or if you feel any vibrations in your steering wheel, schedule a tire service at Freeman Toyota. We'll make sure your tires are properly inflated and aligned for a smooth ride through Euless and beyond.
Additional Fall Service Recommendations
While brakes, oil changes, and tires are some of the most important fall service items, there are a few other things to consider having checked before winter arrives. These include:
- Testing your battery and charging system
- Checking belts and hoses for cracks or wear
- Topping off fluids like coolant, power steering, and brake fluid
- Replacing your windshield wipers and wiper fluid
- Inspecting your lighting and bulbs
