It’s that time of year again—time to prepare for the school year! Ensure your car is tip-top before you hit the road for drop-offs and pick-ups. Use this checklist from our team at Heritage Ford Inc. in Corydon, IN, and consider these items for optimal car readiness:
Check Tires - Ensure tires are correctly inflated and replace them if necessary.
Check Oil and Fluids - Get an oil change if needed, and top off all other fluids such as brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
Check Lights - Ensure headlights, turn signals, tail lights, and brake lights function correctly.
Check Wipers - Replace worn-out wipers and ensure the washer fluid is full.
Get a Tune-Up - If your car has been running sluggish, it may need a tune-up to help improve gas mileage and the overall performance of your vehicle.
Clean Out - Remove unnecessary items like old sports gear, books, clothes, etc., so there’s plenty of room for your kids and their backpacks.
Consider giving your auto insurance policy a checkup - even with no changes in coverage, premium amounts may vary from year to year due to changing factors such as zip code.
