It's not just the foliage that changes in autumn. Hit the road expecting the unexpected.

As the temperature drops and the North Carolina countryside erupts with golds, yellows, and reds, make sure that your Kia is prepared for the coming months.  Autumn is a time for transformation and change!  Soon we'll be rolling into the chill of winter, and the last thing you want to be is unprepared.  When it comes to winter car care, it is always better to be safe than sorry.  Keep these things in mind before the first frost:

-When was the last time you replaced your wiper blades?  It is recommended that you replace them once a year.  It's both inconvenient and dangerous to be caught in a slushy snow storm without properly functioning wiper blades.  Depending on the weather and your daily routine, you may even need to swap them out every six months.

-Make sure your brake fluid, antifreeze, and oil are topped off before hitting the road.  Check your tire pressure, and make sure you have a fully-functioning, fully-inflated spare tire with you at all times.  Like we said, this season is all about preparation!  

-As the days get shorter, it becomes increasingly important that you are visible on the road.   This autumn car care tip is easy: make sure all your headlights and taillights work!  While it may seem simple, keeping this tip in mind can and will help everyone on the road arrive at their destinations safely.
