It is finally autumn in Michigan, bringing beautiful colors and cooler weather. But it also brings extra precautions you should be taking when driving. Usually in the fall, we see our first frost which can throw off your morning commute. Your Honda vehicle should be inspected by a certified Honda technician at Thelen Honda in Bay City to make sure that important areas of your vehicle are prepared. Some of these include your fluid levels and their respective receptacles, your battery, and the condition of your tires. Even without the frost, there is generally more rain this time of year and with the slippery leaves falling too, taking care while you’re driving is especially important.
With autumn also comes school zones so when you’re planning your commute, take notice of the school zones in your area and the speed restrictions that come with them. You should also be aware of kids getting on and off their buses on the way to and from school – and make sure you keep an eye out for the stop sign on the side of the bus! This goes the same with wildlife (especially deer!) and fallen branches with the increased wind and rainstorms. There comes more distractions and things to avoid while driving when it comes to the fall season.
When you’re ready to bring your Honda vehicle into Thelen Honda in Bay City, Michigan, we have an amazing team of technicians standing by with the knowledge of just how your Honda should be running. Make sure to bring your Honda car, crossover, SUV, or minivan in for a full inspection at Thelen Honda to know it’s properly prepared for this season!
