Essential Autumn Auto Maintenance

As the leaves in the parks start to change color, it’s a little reminder that fall is almost here. It’s also a reminder to schedule autumn auto maintenance at our Mercedes dealership, Keyes European.

Complete an Oil Change

An oil change is a crucial part of maintaining your vehicle. Motor oil keeps your engine lubricated, limiting excessive heat and friction. To ensure it’s always ready to do its job, it requires periodic changes before it ages too much and begins to thicken. Many factors go into your ideal oil change schedule, but now’s a good time to see if you are due for one.

Service Your Air Conditioner

Typically, we recommend you service your air conditioner once a year – before the hot summer months start. Of course, in Van Nuys, there are still many days ahead of us that we’ll want to turn the A/C on. This can help your air conditioner recoup from the summer too. Plus, it helps to improve your gas mileage and keep your vehicle eco-friendly.

Inspect Your Tires

It’s essential to regularly inspect your tires to ensure they can give you the traction and control you need to keep you safe on the road. You want to look for any cracks and bulges or other unusual wear. You also want to ensure each tire is adequately inflated and has at least 4/32 of an inch of tread.
