With fall in full swing, now is the time to be mindful of your car’s health. This is the season to get your vehicle looked at by a certified technician at our Honda service center in Van Nuys, CA. Learn which car components can benefit from autumn maintenance.
Check the Battery
Temperature fluctuations cause the fluids in the battery to
undergo chemical changes that can lead to a power depletion. We recommend
having the battery inspected as part of general maintenance at our local Honda
service station.
The battery may also hint that it’s drained if the
electrical components like the lights and radio begin failing. Finally, be sure
the battery terminals are free of corrosion build-up.
Check the Heater
It won’t be long before winter arrives, and you find
yourself relying on the heater much like you relied on the AC during the
summer. Check the heater to be sure it’s actually blowing hot air. If the air
is at normal temperature or even cold, then there may be a number of problems,
such as a clogged heater core, a faulty
water pump, or a hot coolant leak.
Check the Lights
As fall arrives, the night hours become longer, making your
headlamps even more crucial. If the lights appear dimmer than usual, then the
problem is either failing bulbs or the lens cover is becoming clouded from
oxidation. A Honda technician can easily replace the bulbs and/or remove
oxidation from the lens.
Schedule a service appointment at Keyes Honda. Our licensed mechanics perform maintenance and tune-ups on all Honda models, from the Honda Civic to the Honda Odyssey. Make fall the season to give your car a once-over from an automotive professional.
