Here at Travall, we\u2019re keen advocates of regular vehicle maintenance and as the seasons change taking care of your car is essential. We\u2019ve got some easy ways to prepare your car for Autumn, so you can be sure your vehicle is in the best possible shape so you can enjoy those Autumn adventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leave the leaves behind<\/b>.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Autumn leaves are beautiful, but they can cause problems with your vehicle. If you regularly park under or near trees, ensure that your car is cleared of leaves and other debris before setting out so that your vision isn\u2019t impeded, your air filters don\u2019t get clogged, and your paintwork isn\u2019t affected.\u00a0 As the weather turns wetter, be aware of an increase in mud and grit that can also affect your car\u2019s paintwork.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check your equipment.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tyres.\u00a0 Do a visual check to make sure your tyres are still in good shape and have sufficient tread depth. Follow up by checking tyre pressure. If the tread is low or the side walls look damaged in any way, replace the tyre.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Wipers.\u00a0 Ensure your wipers are in good condition and are working properly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Heater<\/b>.\u00a0 Check that your car\u2019s heating\/air-conditioning system is working properly so that you can easily de-mist your windscreen on the frosty mornings ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lights<\/b>.\u00a0 Make sure all your lights are working and that the bulbs aren\u2019t dim.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be particularly glad to have a clearly lit road on dark days and at night and it is vitally important that you can be seen too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Battery.<\/b>\u00a0 Check your battery.\u00a0 If you find it is struggling, replace it.\u00a0 It\u2019s easier to do this now than to face a breakdown on a bitterly cold day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stock your boot<\/b>.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Check that you have sufficient de-icer in the boot of your car as nights can quickly turn frosty. Why not also add a torch, a waterproof jacket and a blanket in case of emergencies? Adding a Travall CargoMat<\/a>, ensures that your boot\u2019s interior stays clean and dry when adding wet or muddy items, including dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add a layer of protection.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keeping your car’s interior clean can be tricky when the weather turns wetter.\u00a0 Consider installing<\/span> vehicle-specific rubber mats<\/span><\/a>, to keep your car\u2019s carpet clean and dry with a no-slip, full-coverage fit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
