Fall in Coeur d’Alene is one of the most beautiful times of year — crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and the excitement of the seasons changing. But as every North Idaho driver knows, those cool autumn days are also a reminder that winter is just around the corner. Before the first snowflake hits, it’s important to make sure your vehicle is ready for the cold, icy months ahead.
At Full On Pro Auto Repair, we’re here to help you stay safe and confident on the road with a few simple fall maintenance tips.
🔋 1. Check Your Battery
Cold weather can put a serious strain on your car’s battery. If your battery is more than three years old, fall is the perfect time to have it tested to make sure it won’t leave you stranded on a chilly morning.
🛞 2. Inspect Your Tires
As temperatures drop, so does tire pressure. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and have enough tread to grip icy roads. If you’ve been thinking about switching to winter tires, now is the time to get them installed.
🧴 3. Top Off Fluids
From windshield washer fluid to antifreeze, all your vehicle’s fluids should be topped off and ready for the season ahead. Antifreeze is especially critical for protecting your engine from freezing temperatures in CDA’s winters.
đź’ˇ 4. Test Your Lights
Shorter days mean more driving in the dark. Check all your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals to ensure they’re working properly and keeping you visible.
🧰 5. Replace Wiper Blades
Those beautiful falling leaves and sudden autumn rains can make visibility tough. If your wipers are streaking or squeaking, replace them before the snow comes.
