The low temperatures of Fall can often be more dangerous for your vehicle than the heat of summer. Fall driving requires more specific vehicle maintenance, and modifications in some areas of the country, to keep the car running smoothly. Bill Jacobs BMW of Naperville, IL is here to help you move safely through chilly mornings from Naperville to Aurora and Chicago.
In Naperville, IL, we frequently see freezing temperatures in the day time through the fall, and overnight temperatures are regularly below freezing. This means keeping your antifreeze topped off and in good condition is a must. During a pre-fall visit to Bill Jacobs BMW, we test your antifreeze and change it when necessary. Curious about what antifreeze does? It circulates through the car and keeps your engine cool. If it is allowed to freeze in the fall, the fluid will expand as it turns to ice and wreak havoc on your BMW’s cooling system. This will cause your engine to overheat even on the coldest days.
Changes in air temperature can lead to fluctuations in your tire pressure. At a pre-fall check, we make sure your tires are fully and uniformly inflated to handle the temperature drops better. We also check your tire treads to make sure you go into the fall months with as much gripping power as possible for slippery roadways. If you need to order new tires, our service technicians will let you know. We can also assist with swapping your tires for a fall tire set if needed.
Every part of your car works harder in temperature extremes. By topping off your car fluids and getting all necessary changes accomplished at the start of the season, you go into fall prepared for whatever the road throws at you. Your fall check should include an oil change when needed or an oil check. Technicians can top off your windshield wiper fluid and assess other liquids, such as your transmission and brake fluid, for degradation — a potential warning sign of other problems.
