What Is Back To School Car Care?
Every September, the children of British Columbia go back to school. In anticipation of this, many British Columbians spend time in August and September doing certain chores and certain rituals. Maybe you’re buying school supplies for your kids. Maybe you like to fit in one last camping trip. Or maybe you’re a teacher and you’re trying to do all the chores you won’t have time for once that school bell rings.
Whatever annual chores and traditions you have for this time of year, one ought to be back to school car care. If you drive your kids to school every day, it is important to make sure your vehicle is in good working order. If you are a university student with your own car, now is a suitable time to get into the habit of regular and preventative maintenance. And even if you have no children and are not a student yourself, back to school time is still a great time for some routine vehicle maintenance.
Back To School Car Maintenance In Langley, BC
Many of us are reliant on our vehicles. We use them every day to get to work, to take our kids to school, to run errands, and more. And yet, because we use our cars every day, most of these actions seem mundane to us. Many of us do not really think about our cars until something goes wrong. But we would be a lot better off if we did think about our vehicles before something went wrong.
Preventative maintenance can save you money and headaches in the future. The expert technicians at Foreman’s Integra Tire Auto Centre can catch small problems before they become big ones during regular maintenance. Some back-to-school car services to consider are:
- Regular check-ups inspecting oil and coolant levels, your engine’s air filter, tire pressure and tread, and the lights on your vehicle, such as your headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and parking lights.
- Rotating your tires to increase tire longevity and efficacy.
- Regularly waxing your vehicle will not only make it look nice, but it can help prevent rust from forming.
- Regularly check your transmission fluid to ensure your transmission is healthy.
Many of the above maintenance items should be performed regularly. But back to school car care can include other maintenance services as well. These procedures can include:
