    October is Fall Car Care Month, a good reminder that routine vehicle maintenance is essential for safety, performance and environmental health. As temperatures begin to drop this month, your car will face new weather-related challenges. Staying ahead of issues like worn tires, weak batteries and low fluids can prevent breakdowns and costly repairs while keeping your vehicle road-ready for the colder months.
    NTXCarCare.org is an excellent resource for tips on keeping your vehicle in tip-top shape. There you’ll learn about the three principles of car care:
    • Always follow your vehicle’s service schedule to find out when essential maintenance needs to be performed, such as oil changes.
    • Have an expert inspect your car when a problem is detected. Often, your car will alert you when there’s an issue, such as by turning on dashboard warning lights. Sometimes, you’ll notice your car isn’t riding or driving as it normally does. Whatever the case may be, a professional should be consulted.
    • Last, if a problem is detected, have it repaired as soon as possible. One issue can lead to another, and the longer you wait, the more costly it could become to make the required repairs. Fixing issues promptly keeps your vehicle safe, efficient and environmentally compliant.
