The Beauty of Fall Is Here…Time for Auto Maintenance

The autumn season is finally here, and along with fresh and crisp air, beautiful new tree colors, and holiday fun to come, you’ll also want to give your car some special care. After all, those lower temperatures cause some of your critical vehicle functions to work differently (especially if you plan to travel out of the area to cold regions)—plus, you can virtually never go wrong with a quick vehicle service. Get your luxury ride geared for the new season by scheduling your fall car maintenance online at Livermore Maserati, your local Maserati service center near San Jose, CA.

Warm Up to the New Season…Literally

Even here in the Golden State, autumn mornings and evenings can feel cold and breezy—and can occasionally dip into the 30s, so, you’ll want to check and top off your antifreeze levels. This simple fluid helps regulate the temperatures in your engine and assists in making sure your car is ready to go when you sit inside and push the power button to kick off your early-morning cruise or for a drive to the mountains for your next adventure.

If you plan to keep your drives local, you’ll still want to gear up for potential rain by getting your windshield wipers checked and replaced to help keep your visibility peaked. Also, be sure to have our technicians check your headlights and fog lights, as wildlife is more common to stroll onto the roads during this time of year, which is why it’s a good idea to maximize your visibility to help you avoid obstacles, like potholes, tires in the road, or deer.

It's no surprise your Maserati vehicle can supply you with first-class comfort year-round—and to help keep that luxury strong, have our technicians check your climate systems. Even in the Fremont region, you’ll still usually want your heat to help you remain cozy during your morning commutes or night rides, so have our technicians check your heater. Don’t forget about your heated seats and steering wheel—again, these features are key to helping maximize your comfort during the autumn and upcoming winter, so schedule service for repairs if you’re noticing issues with these luxury features.

Stick to the Schedule—The Maserati Maintenance Schedule

To help keep your vehicle driving in peak shape, stick to the essentials for your fall car maintenance checklist—starting with an oil change every 10,000 miles. This fluid replacement is one of the best services you could ever schedule for your vehicle, as you’re helping lubricate the finer parts of your engine to assist in preventing early wear and tear while also helping your powertrain avoid an overheat after a day of legendary adventures in your Levante or hitting world-class speeds in your GranTurismo.

Next, check your tire tread—for a fast trick, pull out a penny and insert the copper coin head-first in your tire grooves—do you see the top of Honest Abe’s head? That’s a sign it’s time for new tires to help you avoid hydroplaning or excess sliding—we even have a variety of brands and styles to meet your cruising needs, from adventure-bound all-season tires to sets that are optimized for high performance.

Don’t forget your battery—during the autumn, your power source can drain up to 60% faster because of the dropping temperatures. Thankfully, we can perform a test and let you know if it’s time for a replacement to help you avoid needing a jump start on a breezy afternoon in a parking lot.
