Until then happy fall maintenance! 5 Tips For Fall Car Care: Check Your Tires: Check tire tread depth Look for any signs of wear and tear such as bulges and bald spots Check the tire pressure, and adjust it accordingly using the PSI listed in your owner’s manual or driver’s side doorjamb Tire pressure drops when the temperatures drop, so keep a regular schedule of tire pressure maintenance Inspect The Battery: Check the battery connections to make sure they’re tight, clean and free of corrosion Harsh winter weather can be hard on a vehicle battery, so you want to check the battery and charging system before the cold sets in Check Wiper Blades, Defrosters, and Heater: Checking your cooling and heating system is important for your comfort, but it’s also important for your safety, too. Visibility could be hindered in the winter month due to frost, ice, snow, and other elements. Making sure your defroster is working, your wiper blades don’t have any cracks or are leaving streaks across your windshield Generally, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 months Don’t forget the windshield wiper fluid! Most vehicles will warn you you’re running low but it is always a good idea to keep it recommended levels Have Your Brakes Checked: It’s no secret your breaks are important, but in the winter months, it’s important they’re in shape to take on the winter weather. Make sure the brake pads/rotors don’t need to be replaced and have the brake line checked as well. Our team is more than qualified to help give you peace of mind and repair any issues we may find Check Your Lights: Your vehicle’s lights tend to be overlooked, but as the days begin to grow darker sooner, your lights become extremely important Think about the last time you changed your headlights and taillights, if you can’t remember, chances are it’s time to change them! If they’re still running smoothly, give them a good cleaning to create better visibility

Nothing can put a dent in your day’s plans like walking out to your vehicle and finding a big puddle of fluid underneath it. Okay, so your vehicle has a leak, now you’re asking yourself what is leaking? Is it going to be expensive to fix? Is your vehicle even safe to drive? Before you freak out, take a deep breath, because a fluid leak in your vehicle doesn’t always mean there is a huge problem. But how do you figure out what the issue is? Well, we’re glad you asked! Luckily, the fluids in your vehicles are different colors, which makes it easier to find the problem. Below, we have a color guide that will help you narrow down the problem. Once you’ve figured out the issue, give us a call, and if your vehicle is safe to drive, swing in for a service appointment! We will get your vehicle back into tip-top shape in no time! Light brown to black: If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a brownish/black color, chances are its motor oil. This can leak from various spots of your vehicle, but if it is leaking from the center and the odor smells like rotten eggs, the culprit could be a lube oil leak. This won’t stop your vehicle dead, but it means that there is an ongoing issue and you should bring your vehicle in for a professional examination Light yellow to dark brown: Brake fluid stars out as a clear/yellow color and as it ages it becomes dark brown, similar to motor oil. An easy way to distinguish is simple, just feel the fluid. If the fluid feels slippery, it’s likely brake fluid. If this is the case, your vehicle is not safe to drive and you’re going to want to bring it in for repair as soon as possible. Red(ish): If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a red or reddish color, it’s generally power steering fluid. Power steering fluid will leak from under the front part of your car and is thin in texture. If this is the case, there is an issue with the power steering pump. Orange: If the leak is from the center of your vehicle and the fluid is an orange/reddish-brown color, it could be transmission fluid. However, rust from your radiator mixing with an antifreeze leak can appear orange-ish as well. However, the antifreeze will be thin and can leak from anywhere, which could help you determine the difference. Yellow, Green, or Pink: These leaks will be the easiest to spot, and typically the simplest to diagnose. More times than not, the cause of such bright puddles is a simple coolant leak. In these cases, your vehicle’s age comes into play. Older vehicles tend to blow off a bit of coolant when the engine gets too hot, so a few little spots are nothing to worry about. If your vehicle is newer, this coolant shouldn’t be dripping any excess liquids so it might be a good idea to bring it in for a look. Clear: If the fluid leaking from your vehicle looks like water, it probably is water. The air conditioning can build up excess condensation and result in puddles of water underneath your vehicle. This occurs in properly running cars, only be worried if it becomes constant and a lot.

Have you been to be out adventuring all summer behind the wheel or your Mercedes-Benz? Then this is your reminder to give your Mercedes-Benz some well-deserved TLC by scheduling your Mercedes-Benz certified service appointment now! Okay, now that we have that covered, this week’s blog is dedicated to safety behind the wheel of your Mercedes-Benz. We all know Mercedes-Benz vehicles have unbelievable power, but safety is our number one priority. With summer quickly coming to an end, we get ready to welcome September and the months ahead. This means we are heading into hurricane season/fall. And even though hurricanes might not affect us up here in Connecticut, that doesn't mean we wouldn’t get some pretty heavy rainstorms. So take a peek below and learn more about some tips and tricks on driving in heavy rain, so you can keep you and your passengers safer behind the wheel! Driving in heavy rain: Turn your headlights on – the Highway Code says you must use them when visibility is seriously reduced Use fog lights if you like, but switch them off when visibility improves. Leave twice as much space between you and the car in front – it takes longer to stop in the wet. If your steering feels light due to hydroplaning, ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually. If you break down don't prop the bonnet open while you wait. Rain-soaked electrics can make it harder to start the engine. Driving during floods and standing water Try to avoid standing water if you can. Don't drive into flood water that’s moving or more than 4 inches deep. Let approaching cars pass first if you are unsure of the depth Drive slowly and steadily so you don’t make a bow wave. Test your brakes as soon as you can afterward. Water can have a damaging effect on brakes, make sure they are working properly before you continue to drive Fast-moving water is very powerful: if strong enough your car could be swept away. Find an alternate route if the water is moving too fast to pass-through Watch out for: Look out for slip and trip hazards like curbs under the water. Manhole covers can get lifted and moved. Water levels can change quickly Schedule Your Certified Service Appointment Here!

Give Your Vehicle A Good Wash Winter can be tough on your vehicle’s exterior. Freezing temperatures and salt from the road can do real damage to your paint job, so make sure to start the season with a car wash. If you choose to go to a car wash, go for the premium wash to get all the nooks and crannies and a deep clean after months of harsh road conditions. If you do it yourself, make sure to add baking soda to the wash water if your car has a strong salt buildup. This will help neutralize the salt and save your paint job. Tire Check When it looks like the snow is finally done falling, be sure to switch from your snow tires to your all-season tires. Once you have your tires back on, be sure to grab your owners manual to find the Manufacturer recommended air pressure. Not only is this important for alignment, but also can give you better gas mileage and save your money at the tank! Make sure your tires are rotated regularly and don’t wait until you have a visible flat to fill them up. Check your tires for worn tread and make sure to replace your tires when the tread becomes too worn. If you’re not sure if you need new tires, use the penny test to determine!
