How Texas Drivers Can Prepare Their Vehicle for Fall
Fall in Texas doesn’t always bring a dramatic change in weather, but it does bring a shift in routines—more school traffic, longer commutes, and increased time on the road. Whether you're heading to football games, fall festivals, or after-school pickups, now is the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is in peak condition. We help drivers across New Braunfels, Schertz, and Cibolo stay safe and road-ready all season long. Here’s how to prep your car for everything fall might throw your way.
Prioritize Brake and Tire Inspections
Fall often brings increased traffic, school zone stops, and weekend travel. It’s the perfect time to have your brakes and tires inspected for signs of wear:
- Look for uneven tread or low tire pressure
- Listen for squealing or grinding during braking
- Have alignment and rotation checked to extend tire life
Our ASE-certified technicians can quickly assess these systems at any of our car repair shops and recommend any necessary adjustments or replacements.
Visibility Is Key for Early Mornings and Evening Drives
With shorter daylight hours approaching, you’ll likely be driving more in low-light conditions. Now’s the time to inspect:
- Headlights and taillights for brightness and clarity
- Windshield wipers for streaking or wear
- Washer fluid levels for clean windshields on dusty roads
Foggy headlights or worn-out wipers can quickly become a safety hazard. A quick visit to a trusted shop like Total True Automotive—your local car mechanic—can restore visibility and keep you driving safely.
Battery and Electrical System Checkups
More driving means more demands on your vehicle’s battery and electrical system. If your car has been sluggish to start or your battery is over three years old, we recommend a quick inspection. Our team can test your battery’s performance and check for corrosion at your nearest Total True Automotive location—a smart move before your fall calendar fills up.
Fluid Top-Offs and Routine Maintenance
Fall is a great time to catch up on regular maintenance:
- Oil changes
- Transmission and brake fluid checks
- Power steering and washer fluid top-offs
