Summer is wrapping up in places like Hampton, VA, and Newport News, VA. With the shift in seasons, it's essential to ensure your car is ready for the upcoming weather conditions. Wynne Ford has crafted a list of crucial maintenance tasks to prep your vehicle for autumn and beyond.

Neglecting their maintenance can lead to a host of problems, including reduced performance, costly repairs, and even accidents.

Replacing your car tires will have a significant difference in the comfort and safety of your car. Different tire brands will affect how your vehicle tackles different weather conditions. For instance, you can have summer tires or all-season tires.
You can refer to summer tires as performance tires. Drivers who want high-performance tires prefer summer tires. They work best during dry seasons or in areas where people do not get proper winter. Also, summer tires work well in wet areas during the summer season. The design of summer tires enables them to provide a better grip and braking than
If your car's tires are over-inflated, they will wear unevenly. Not enough pressure will also cause excess wear, but under-inflation will also cause reduced fuel efficiency. Check your pressure with a tire gauge regularly. Inflate the tires to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. This information is inside the driver's door or in the owner's manual.
Proper tread depth allows your car to firmly grip the road. Take the time to check your tread when you check the pressure. An easy way to check the tread is with a penny. Place a penny with Lincoln's head…
It is no secret that after a long drive your car gets very hot. This is because the engine of your vehicles is run literally by tiny explosions which make your car move.

The water in the washer reservoir may have worked during the summer, but now that the colder temperatures are settling here in Hampton, Virginia, that water needs to be replaced with proper windshield wiper fluid. These are some of the things to consider when winter arrives, and the Wynne Ford service team can help you discover why you should only use proper windshield wiper fluid.
The detergents in the windshield wiper fluid are going to break up things like dead bugs or bird dropping in your field of vision.
Everyone that owns a vehicle, or is simply responsible for one, should regularly check the fluids, including motor oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid, and make sure they are clean. Fluids often tell owners and operators complex, multi-chapter stories about the current and past status of their vehicles.
There's a certain romance to planning a trip, then setting off on the open road and traveling wherever your heart desires. It's practically a rite of passage for most Americans to do this and we at Wynne Ford want you to be prepared.
