🍁 Fall Car Care Checklist: Keep Your Ride Fresh, Clean & Road-Ready

As the air gets cooler and the leaves start to fall, your car needs a little extra attention. 🍂 Fall is the perfect time to prep your ride for the months ahead—before winter takes its toll. From detailing to maintenance must-dos, here’s your ultimate Fall Vehicle Checklist to keep your car looking and running its best.

✅ 1. Wash & Protect Your Paint

Falling leaves 🍁, rain ☔, and road grime can wreak havoc on your paint.

  • Get a deep clean & wax/sealant to protect against the elements.

  • Remove sap, tar, and stuck-on debris before they etch into your clear coat.

  • Pro tip: A ceramic coating gives even longer-lasting protection.

✅ 2. Clean & Protect Your Interior

Cooler temps mean windows fogging, more dirt on shoes, and stale fall air. 🍂

  • Vacuum carpets & mats (leaves love to hide here).

  • Wipe and protect leather/vinyl against drying & cracking.

  • Replace your cabin air filter for fresh, clean air flow. 🌬️

✅ 3. Tire Check = Safety Check

Leaves + rain = slippery roads. 🚗💨

  • Inspect tread depth to avoid sliding.

  • Check tire pressure (temps dropping = pressure dropping).

  • Consider switching to all-season or winter tires if needed.

✅ 4. Keep Glass & Lights Clear

Shorter days mean more night driving 🌙 and glare.

  • Clean windshields inside & out to reduce fog & haze.

  • Replace worn wiper blades before the first frost. ❄️

  • Check headlights & taillights for brightness and clarity.

✅ 5. Fluids & Battery

Cold weather is tough on engines and batteries. 🔋

  • Top off coolant, washer fluid, and oil.

  • Have your battery tested—it’s better to know now than be stranded later.
