Prepare Your Vehicle for Fall With Sierra Blanca Motors

As summer fades to fall on the Sierra Blanca mountain range, routine auto maintenance takes on greater seasonal significance. Fall vehicle check-ups are vital for your safety and your vehicle's reliability. Tire pressure and battery diagnostics are substantially different in colder weather, and other seasonal adjustments may be necessary.

The expert technicians at Sierra Blanca Motors in Ruidoso use advanced technology and tools to ensure your vehicle is in optimal condition for fall and winter. In addition to complete system analysis, our service professionals ensure everything is in order for cooler, wetter weather.

Essential Chevrolet Service Tips for Fall

Changing road conditions as fall sets in place increases demands on several key components of your vehicle, including tires and brakes. With wet and slick conditions on our mountain roads, sufficient tire tread and pressure go hand-in-hand with proper brake function to ensure safe vehicle operation. 

Test tires for proper tread depth of at least 1/8 inch and inspect sidewalls for cracks, cuts, or bulges. As cold weather begins, these types of defects are more prone to serious problems like blowouts. Fall is also an ideal time for tire rotation and alignment. This promotes safe handling and maintains even tire wear during harsh winter conditions. 

Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and check the brake fluid level along with lines and hoses as part of fall vehicle check-ups. Replacing worn or damaged parts helps to preserve safe operation.

Battery and engine inspections and tune-ups reduce the risk of the damage cold weather does. We test batteries for proper charging and possible corrosion that compromises performance in fall and winter. 

Along with oil and filter changes, winterizing your engine and our multi-point inspection help ensure reliable cranking and performance during all weather conditions.
