In addition, you can improve the attractiveness of your car and add originality to it if you use tuning accessories, a wide range of which is available in our online store.

Preparation for autumn weather

• Tire inspection: As the temperature drops, the tire's grip on the road deteriorates. Check if the tread on your tires meets safety requirements. If the tread depth is less than 3-4 mm, you should think about replacing the rubber. Also, make sure the tire pressure is correct.

• Cleaning the windshield wiper system: rainy autumn requires regular inspection of windshield wipers. Wiper blades must be clean and not worn. Also, do not forget to fill the windshield washer tank with a liquid designed for low temperatures.

Body protection against corrosion

• Washing and applying protective coatings: in autumn, dirt and moisture contribute to the appearance of rust. Wash the car regularly, removing the remains of dirt and leaves from the body. It is also recommended to apply a wax coating or an anti-corrosion agent to protect the paintwork from aggressive influences.
• Leaf Removal: Fallen leaves can accumulate in drains and under the hood, causing blockages and moisture retention. Regularly clean the machine of leaves to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Maintenance

• Checking the battery: with the onset of cold weather, the battery may lose its capacity. Check its condition and charge. If necessary, charge or replace the battery to avoid starting problems.
• Change oil and filters: autumn weather conditions put additional stress on the engine. Change the engine oil and air filter to improve engine performance in the cold season.

Salon preparation

• Protection with floor mats: in autumn, more dirt and moisture enters the car interior. Use rubber mats that are easy to clean and do not absorb moisture. This will help maintain cleanliness and prevent the appearance of unpleasant odors.
• Checking the heating system: a decrease in temperature requires the proper operation of the heating system. Check the condition of the heater and ventilation to keep the car comfortable on cold days. If necessary, an additional heater can be installed in the car interior.
