Give Your Auto TLC, It's Fall Car Care Month

By: Joe Thompsom

October has been designated as the Fall Car Care Month by the
Car Care Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to
educating motorists about proper vehicle care and maintenance.
This time of the year is perfect time to prepare for the
approaching winter months, that is, to repair or replace the
car's old and worn out auto parts, have all its systems and
components checked or get the car properly serviced by a
mechanic.

Fall and winter months are the harshest months for vehicles,
especially those hard to maintain automobiles; thus, you need to
give your vehicle extra care during these months. Why wait for
those agonizing months when you can keep your auto fit ahead of
time. As early as now, work on your car's problems, even the
minor ones. Simple things like weatherstripping your windows for
example can make your ride a lot more comfortable and
stress-free.

By means of weatherstripping the windows, doors, windshield,
trunk and other parts of your auto, you are not only making your
car air and watertight but safer as well. Small wholes and gaps
on the window frames cause the glass to rattle, which is
annoying and risky at the same time because the glass might
break as you drive through bumpy roads.

Find premium quality Toyota weatherstripping,
Honda weatherstripping,
Ford weatherstripping, Chevy
weatherstripping
and more from Auto Parts Wholesale. This store also offers great
choices of replacement and aftermarket auto parts made to match
your car's original parts.

Another way to prepare your auto is by making sure that all your
lights are working and are properly aimed. Of course after long
years of using your car's original lights, you would need to
replace them as well. Be sure to install high quality and
durable auto lights. You can go to Auto Parts Wholesale for these lights. This store
features great variety of lights including high quality and
stylish Toyota headlights, Dodge fog lights, and Honda taillights.

The fog lights are very important
during fall and winter seasons because these lights provide low
illumination that helps you pass through thick fog, snow and
rain. They are specially designed to keep you safe while driving
through the worst weather conditions. Especially if you are
driving in mountainous areas at night and early in the morning,
you need quality fog lights to illuminate the road ahead of you.
Your headlights when used in
circumstances such as this might be futile or worse, dangerous
since they emit stronger light that produces glare.

Keep your car wheels including the tires at their
best condition. Make sure that that the tires are properly
inflated to avoid misfortunes on the road. Likewise, check on
the car's air conditioning, heat, exhaust, cooling, starting and
electrical systems. Should you need replacement for any of the
original auto parts, don't hesitate replacing it. Spending some
extra cash for new replacement auto parts isn't a bad idea
especially if your safety, comfort and convenience are at stake.

Check out the store's featured premium quality replacement auto
parts including Ford a/c condenser, Nissan Alloy wheels, BMW mirror, Jeep engine parts
and thousands of other GMC parts, Volvo parts, Honda parts and Toyota parts.

Your car must be an extension of yourself so take care of it. No
matter how tough its original parts are, you can't expect them
to work perfectly right in worst driving situations if you don't
maintain them properly. Give your car the most tender love and
care it deserves now before winter comes to test its endurance
and driving abilities.
