Why Is a Fall Tune-Up Important?
You should schedule seasonal or periodic maintenance checks for several reasons. One of the top reasons for getting your Mercedes serviced …show more content…
is that in doing so, you may avoid some of the problems that a car might otherwise manifest. When a technician inspects your vehicle, certain issues may be detected early – such as the need for new tires or a new heater component. By keeping the various parts of your Mercedes in great condition, you could even improve its gas mileage and consequently save money.
While saving money is often a major motivator for getting regular maintenance checks, other factors may also motivate you to get in the habit of doing this.
In addition to preventing expensive repairs, you might also spare yourself from the time and hassle involved with having avoidable repairs performed on your car. By enabling your mechanic to catch minor issues before they become big problems, you could save much money and time overall.
What Does a Mechanic Do During an Autumn Tune-Up?
The first components a technician might check are the spark plugs. These need to be replaced occasionally, and it’s wise to do this before the temperatures are cold on a daily basis. If you don’t have the spark plugs replaced as needed, you may have trouble getting your car started – which can be particularly annoying (and even dangerous) if you are stranded without the use of your vehicle.
Your mechanic may also replace the air filters in your car during a fall tune-up. When these filters become clogged, your fuel economy is likely to be less efficient than it could be. Additionally, since you will probably be driving with your windows closed for most of the season, poor air quality in your car could be very unhealthy for you and your
passengers.
Additional Services
Some services may not ordinarily be performed during an autumn tune-up – but if your mechanic believes that your vehicle would benefit from such services, they might be implemented at this time. If any of the fluids in your vehicle need to be refilled or replaced, your mechanic may recommend that this be done now. A technician may even inspect various nozzles and hoses, so those can be repaired or replaced if necessary.
