How to prepare your Lexus for fall and winter

The leaves are falling, and we are getting closer to October. That means that fall is upon us and soon winter will be here. This is a great time to start thinking about preparing your vehicle for the colder weather ahead while also making sure that it is in great condition to face the sometimes tricky road conditions that come with fall weather.

Start with the tires on your Lexus

Fall means colder temperatures, especially in the mornings and evenings, and it also means more rain. That means that the first thing you want to check this fall are your tires.

Specifically, you want to make sure that you are not driving on summer tires that are no longer in good condition. You want to make sure that you still have plenty of thread on your summer tires because if you don't, the wet roads ahead can be particularly slippery, especially when it is colder outside. If your summer tires need to be replaced, you might want to consider switching to your winter tires earlier.

It is still a bit warm outside, but the weather will be getting progressively colder, and your winter tires won't suffer too much from being installed earlier. This will also lead to much better safety and stability, especially compared to summer tires that are no longer adequate.

That means it is also a good time to think about winter tires. Do you need to replace your winter tires? When do you want your winter tires installed? These are the questions you should be asking yourself and you might want to book your appointment to have your tires installed sooner rather than later in order to make sure you get them before winter arrives.

Maintenance and protection

Now is a great time to start thinking about the maintenance and protection of your Lexus vehicle as we head into fall. Scheduling a maintenance appointment is a great way to make sure your Lexus is in perfect condition for fall. Moreover, you might want to start considering a few accessories such as winter mats, a protective wrap to protect your vehicle's body from rocks and debris on the road, and other accessories such as wiper blades that are specially adapted to snow and winter.
