The leaves are changing colors, and the air is getting cooler, which means winter will be here before we know it. Fall is the perfect time to get your car ready for the harsh winter months ahead with some preventative maintenance. At Michaud Mitsubishi, located at 80 Andover St in Danvers, MA, we're here to help make sure your vehicle is in optimal shape to handle the ice, snow and freezing temperatures that winter around Woburn and the surrounding areas brings. We invite you to learn more about some key fall car care services to consider.

Winter Tire Service

One of the best ways to prepare your car for winter is to switch to a set of dedicated winter tires. Did you know that winter tires are specifically engineered to provide optimal traction and handling in snowy, icy and cold conditions? The special rubber compounds in winter tires stay pliable in freezing temperatures to provide better grip, while the unique tread patterns help dig into snow and slush. Getting your winter tires put on before the first snow falls will give you peace of mind knowing your car is ready for the Medford winter weather. We make it easy for Danvers area drivers to get winter tires with expert installation at our service center.

Brake Service

Properly functioning brakes are critical for winter driving safety. The slick road conditions around Lynn mean you rely on your brakes even more to stop and slow down safely. That's why fall is a smart time to get your brakes inspected. Our experienced, certified technicians will check your brake pads, rotors, calipers, fluid and more to make sure everything is in good working order. Some warning signs your brakes may need service include squealing or grinding noises, vibration in the pedal or steering wheel, or if the brake pedal feels "spongy." We recommend drivers get their brakes checked every fall, so you can drive through Wilmington with confidence all winter.

Oil Change Service

Regular oil changes are essential for keeping your engine healthy and preventing costly problems, no matter the season. But getting an oil change in the fall can be especially beneficial to prepare your car for winter. That's because the cold winter temperatures around Peabody make your engine work harder, so you want to make sure it has clean oil to protect all the moving parts. Fall is the ideal time for Lynn motorists to schedule an oil change, before the busy holiday travel season.

Being proactive about your car's maintenance needs is always a good idea, but it's especially important to pay attention to key services in the fall, so you're prepared for winter. In addition to winter tires, brakes and oil changes, late fall is also an excellent time for Medford drivers to get a multi-point inspection and have your battery, lights and wipers checked. Catching any potential issues early can prevent bigger headaches once the snow starts flying.
