Autumn is here and that means that we are one step closer to winter! But what you might not realize is that with fall comes unpredictability in terms of weather – and it’s important to be prepared for what might be thrown your way! Most areas of Michigan experience their first frost during the fall, which brings slick roads and colder starts to the morning. Your Mazda vehicle should be up-to-date in its maintenance to be prepared for the cold mornings. If you haven’t brought it in to Thelen Mazda to check your fluids, hoses, and battery then now might be the time to do it. You can visually inspect the tread on your tires to make sure they are ready for the weather – and make sure to check the tire pressure as well! Even without the first frost, rain is prevalent during this time of year. This in combination with falling leaves on the road can make for a tricky commute.
Wildlife and fallen tree branches are also more common during the fall months so keeping extra alert while driving should be your top priority. This goes for school zones as well since kids are now back in school after their summer break. Slow down when you spot signs and buses and give school kids have right of way. This is the perfect season to practice your patience – especially before winter comes!
Bring your Mazda vehicle into Thelen Mazda in Bay City, Michigan when you’re ready for a tune-up or a maintenance. We will properly get your vehicle ready for the upcoming weather! Make it a priority this fall to be fully prepared for the roads.
