As the fall months approach is Woodstock, there are various ways for you to take care of your car. This will ensure that your car maintains high performance and that you can drive with peace of mind knowing that it is capable of withstanding all of the road conditions ahead.

Check Your Brakes

Your brakes need to be checked and this can be as simple as bringing your car into a location that specializes in brakes. They will check the rotors, drums, and linings.

Check Your Tires

Your tires need to be checked for both tire pressure and tread depth. If there are bald spots or bulges, your tires may need to be replaced.

Schedule an HVAC Inspection

An HVAC inspection should be scheduled so that you can make sure that your heating and ventilation system is working properly. Heating is important for your interior comfort. It is also going to help you defrost windows.

Make Some Replacements

The fall can be the perfect reminder to make some replacements within your car. If it has been a while since you have last replaced your battery (three years or more), now is the time to do so. It is also a good idea to replace the cabin air filter as well as wiper blades so that you are prepared for the colder weather.

Ultimately, the more you do in the fall, the easier it will be to prepare for the winter months. The weather can be harsh and you want to make sure that your car is capable of handling everything.

When going to college, there is much to think about. From keeping up with your class schedule to making sure you have proper transportation to make it to and from campus, one of the last things on your mind is probably auto insurance. Fortunately, though, it’s fairly simple to understand auto insurance and how being a college student can lower your rates. 

Ask for a student discount

During high school and college, many insurance companies provide top-notch discounts for keeping your grades up. The exact GPA that you will need to maintain will be determined by your insurance provider, but nonetheless, you should do your best to keep your grades as close to a 4.0 if at all possible. The better your grades are, the further you will be able to go in your school and career endeavors. 

Ask for volunteer discounts

Some insurance companies love to give back to the community by providing discounts to students who perform volunteer work. The best way to determine if your provider offers this type of discount is to simply ask. From volunteering at local day cares to picking up trash off the side of the roads, there are many ways to put in volunteer time, and best of all, many of these ways will directly relate to your classes you’re taking in college.
