Fright-Free Driving Starts with a Fall Vehicle Check
October isn't just about costumes and candy—it's also Fall Car Care Month, a nationwide reminder from the experts at Car Care Council to check your vehicle before cooler weather creeps in. At Total True Automotive, we’re embracing the season with a few Halloween-inspired reminders to help you avoid scary surprises on the road. Whether you're carving pumpkins or carpooling to school, now’s the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape—and to visit a trusted auto mechanic near you before minor issues become a major fright.
Haunted by Warning Lights?
If your dashboard is lighting up like a haunted house, don't ignore it. A flickering check engine light or an odd rattle might seem harmless now, but can lead to costlier repairs down the road. Our team uses digital vehicle inspections to show you exactly what’s going on—no tricks, just transparent service. So if you’ve been putting off that inspection or hunting for auto repair near you, we’re here to help.
Banish the Screeches and Squeals
Strange noises under the hood? Squealing brakes? Ghastly grinding sounds? Don’t wait until your vehicle turns into a horror story. This is the time to inspect:
With four locations—two in New Braunfels and two in Schertz—we make it easy for drivers throughout the area, including Cibolo, to get reliable, no-pressure service from a vehicle repair team near you.
Chilly Mornings Call for a Strong Battery
A weak battery can leave you stranded faster than a ghost in the fog. If your car has been slow to start or if your battery is more than three years old, we recommend a battery test before fall turns to winter.
Foggy Windshields? Flickering Lights? Spooky!
Shorter days and cooler mornings mean visibility becomes a safety concern. Make sure to:
- Replace worn wiper blades
- Top off washer fluid
- Test headlights, brake lights, and turn signals
Even small visibility issues can become dangerous, especially during early commutes or late trick-or-treating drives. Stop by, and we’ll help you clear things up fast.
Don’t Let Poor Tire Health Haunt You
Fall is a great time to inspect your tires for:
- Tread wear
- Cracking or dry rot
- Air pressure and balance
As the temperature drops, so does your tire pressure. If your traction is questionable, our team can help you stay safe before the rainy season—or even frost—hits.
