Back To School Car Maintenance Checklist

With the new school year just around the corner, it’s a great time to make sure your car is ready for the daily commute. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensure your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Here’s a back-to-school car maintenance checklist:

  1. Brake Check: Your brakes are crucial for safety. Ensure they are responsive and in good condition. Listen for any unusual noises and have them inspected if needed.

  2. Battery Health: Car batteries typically last about three to five years. If your battery is nearing the end of its life, consider replacing it to avoid getting stranded.

  3. Lights and Signals: Verify that all lights and turn signals are functioning correctly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs to ensure you’re visible to other drivers.

Taking care of these maintenance tasks can help you start the school year with confidence. For a thorough inspection, visit otacarcare.com or call 609-242-1146.
