Drivers are seeing the tailights of summer as familes send children back to school and warm evenings turn to cool nights. Your vehicle notices the changes, too.
Find out what your car needs to get ready for the hues of autumn.

You clipped the curb while trying to parallel park and now the car drifts right. Left unaddressed, you could face an expensive repair or tire replacement. Now what?
Hear a piercing pitch coming from your wheels as you slow to a stop?
It could be a sign of brake trouble as you roll into the peak of winter.
Remember your last sudden stop while driving? How quickly your vehicle stops depends on numerous factors including speed, weight of the car, condition of the brakes and road condition. Are your brakes up to the winter road challenge?
Brakes operate in high temperatures under normal conditions, and months of summer heat only tax the system further.
Experts urge drivers to conduct a post-summer brake inspection to see how well your stopping system is holding up after months of intense weather.
Some warning signs never flash across your vehicle dashboard. Problems such as squeals or a vibrating brake pedal could be your car’s way of pleading for service.
You are dropping off your kids at school and slow down your car as you approach a crowded turnout. As you push on the brake pedal your car responds slowly, and you quickly press harder to get your vehicle to stop.
That delayed response and spongy feel may indicate a more serious problem--air or moisture in your vehicle's brake lines. Inspection by a brake expert is critical to prevent possible brake failure.
The term “all-weather tire” gives drivers a vision of something that handles road conditions in any kind of weather.
