Tires and Tune-Ups
As the weather gets colder and more inclement around Bellefonte, ensuring your tires are in good shape is essential to prevent unexpected blowouts and flat tires. As the tire tread wears away, the risk of getting a flat tire increases, including the risk of punctures from road debris and potholes. Heading into the latter half of the year, it's a good time to inspect and possibly invest in new tires.
If your vehicle hasn't had a tune-up in a while, fall is a great time to get it done to help ensure it's running at its best before the cold weather hits Phillipsburg. Tune-ups commonly include changing the spark plugs, which help avoid misfires and stall outs, as well as replacing filters, changing the oil, and inspecting the engine and drivetrain.
Car Batteries and Brakes
Vehicle batteries can struggle to keep up with starting and operating needs when the weather gets colder. This is especially true if they are older or have worn-out wiring. Fall is a good time to upgrade your old battery and protect against dead battery issues that are common in our community.
Because the fall and winter seasons are notorious for inclement weather conditions near Altoona, having a working brake system is vital to safety. If you haven't had your brakes done in a while, fall is a great time to get a brake check and brake job done to ensure maximum braking capability and passenger safety. Our certified technicians have the tools and parts to ensure your vehicle can stop safely when you press the brake pedal.
