FALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE TIPS IN FREDERICTON, NB
With fall in full swing and winter quickly approaching, now is a great time to get your Lincoln in top shape for the coming season and prepare your maintenance checklist. Whether you drive in our home of Fredericton, NB or beyond, learn more in the following fall vehicle maintenance checklist, and contact us at Riverview Lincoln for more information.
CHECK YOUR WIPER BLADES
Your wiper blades see a lot of action during the year, especially during the winter. This is why we suggest checking the wear on your blades before the season arrives, so you can be best prepared to clear the snow, slush, and ice from your windshield.
CHECK YOUR SPARE TIRE
Even if you haven’t used it, your spare tire’s pressure can drop, especially if temperatures drop drastically as they do in winter. Given the risk of driving on rough winter roads, we recommend keeping tabs on your spare’s pressure in case you’re left with a flat.
REFILL YOUR WASHER FLUID
You probably use your washer fluid most during the winter, and keeping your reservoir full will help you preserve your visibility throughout the season. In addition to filling your reservoir, it’s also best to keep a backup of fluid handy as a precaution.
CHECK YOUR AIR FILTERS
Your engine air filter helps regulate its temperature and its performance overall, while your cabin air filter keeps contaminants, dust, and more from entering your vehicle’s interior. Since your engine and heating system will both be busy during the winter, we recommend getting them checked and replaced if needed for a stress-free season.
CHECK YOUR BATTERY
Your battery is especially vulnerable in extreme weather, especially during the winter. In order to avoid being stranded with a dead battery in the middle of winter, it’s best to check its condition before temperatures drop.
You can book an appointment with our Service Centre at Riverview Lincoln to get all your fall maintenance needs met by one of our certified technicians.
