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!
A dependable vehicle is essential for daily life. The family vehicle has become a hub for everything including commuting to work, school carpool, appointments, activities, and even a summer road trip. Is it time to replace your vehicle with something more dependable and versatile? Shopping for a gently used vehicle can be simple with this list of used car shopping tips.
First off, ask your dealer or private seller if any service records are available for the vehicle you are interested in. These records can show whether a vehicle has been serviced at regular intervals. Always check the glovebox for receipts or records written in the owner’s manual. You are looking for proof that the oil was changed every 3,750 to 10,000 miles, per manufacturer’s recommendations. If the vehicle has been driven over the recommended miles regularly, there is a chance the engine has experienced extra wear. Also check for any records indicating whether the transmission has been serviced. Along with the engine, if the transmission is not serviced per manufacturer’s recommendation, additional wear may have occurred to the transmission. Evidence of a timing belt change may offer peace of mind that the engine has many more years of reliability.
Next, inspect the engine compartment thoroughly. Even though an engine compartment is very clean, there may be signs that the vehicle has issues. Check the ground and engine for signs of oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze leaks. Also, the smell of burnt oil can indicate a problem with the engine. A little due diligence can mean the difference between purchasing a dependable used car or years of problems.
Lastly, make sure you buy from someone you trust. In the Bay City, Michigan area, Thelen Honda has a large inventory of dependable pre-owned Honda vehicles, as well as other popular models. Our Certified Pre-Owned Honda vehicles have passed a rigorous 150-point inspection, ensuring you are purchasing a top-quality vehicle. We even offer a excellent powertrain warranty on these gently-used CPO Honda vehicles! Stop in to test drive these amazing used cars at Thelen Honda today!
