With the changing seasons, it's important to make sure your vehicle is prepared to handle the conditions ahead.
At Fort's Toyota of Pekin, we're here to help drivers in the East Peoria area get their cars, trucks and SUVs ready for fall and winter driving. Our expert service team can perform seasonal maintenance to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely no matter what the weather brings to Illinois.
Seasonal Maintenance Checks
Proper vehicle maintenance is crucial as temperatures drop in places like Peoria. Colder weather can be harsh on critical components, so it's wise to have them checked before winter sets in. This includes your battery, brakes, hoses, belts and fluids. Our technicians will thoroughly inspect your vehicle to catch any potential issues.
Inspect and Replace Tires
Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, so it's vital to make sure they are in top condition. If you live in Bartonville, consider switching to a set of winter tires for optimal traction and handling. We can help you find the right tires for your specific make and model.
Check Wiper Blades and Fluid
Visibility is critical for safe driving during inclement fall and winter weather. If your wiper blades are leaving streaks or missing spots on your windshield, it's time for a new set. We recommend replacing your wipers at the start of each season to ensure a clear view of the road ahead. Drivers in rainy Pekin will especially benefit from fresh blades.
Test All Vehicle Lights
Well-functioning lights are a must for the shorter fall and winter days to come. Be sure to routinely check that all your vehicle's lights are working properly, including headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals. Keeping them clean is also important, as dirt and road grime can dim illumination. If you have a long commute from a place like Bartonville, you'll appreciate bright, clean lights.
