Fall Maintenance Guide | Southern TX
Routine vehicle maintenance is crucial to help ensure your BMW model runs smoothly for years to come.

What significant maintenance should you schedule each fall? Here’s what to keep in mind for your fall vehicle maintenance.
A Routine Oil Change, Tire Rotation, and Multipoint Inspection
If your BMW model is due for an oil change and tire rotation, don’t put off the appointment. In addition to these services, a general engine tune-up, and fluid top-off, our techs will perform a thorough multipoint inspection. This will help determine if there are any other issues that need to be resolved before we head into the winter months.
Proper Visibility
Even though our winters may not be brutal here in Texas, we still have to deal with driving more in the dark due to less hours of daylight. Make sure your BMW model is ready to roll at night by checking all your exterior lights and replacing any bulbs that have burnt out. Check all lights, including headlights, brights, taillights, brake lights, fog lights, and turn signals.
Tire Tread and Pressure
Winter is wetter, whether that’s due to late-fall hurricanes or the freak storms that seem to plague Texas more and more these days. Make sure your tires still offer enough tread to provide good traction in slippery conditions. If temps drop lower, check your tire pressure and refill as necessary. Tire pressure tends to drop along with the temperature.
Check Your Battery
If you do anticipate traveling to where it’s colder, check your battery’s condition to ensure it can handle it. If your battery is nearing the end of its life, replace it before venturing up north.
