Fall Services for Your Volkswagen Vehicle

Inspect Your Tires – Your tires are important when handling rainy road conditions so they should be filled to the proper air pressure. It is also the perfect time to check your tread – lack of tread is a safety hazard and means your tires need to be replaced well before the snowy weather of winter comes. Thelen VW can help you find the perfect all-season or winter tires for your VW.

Replace Those Windshield Wiper Blades – Fall weather brings rain and sometimes even snow. If your windshield wipers can’t keep up with you spraying and wiping off bugs, they won’t keep up with moisture. A good set of wiper blades will leave your windshield streak-free.

Test Your Battery – Another important part of your vehicle is your battery. If you notice your headlights flickering when turning the key in the ignition, or a sulfurous smell, it is time to test your battery and see if it’s time to replace it. You don’t want to be stuck in cold weather with a dead battery.

Top Up On Your Fluids – The various fluids in your vehicle perform many vital functions. Brake fluid, engine oil, coolant, power steering fluid, and automatic transmission fluids are just a few of these important fluids. The change of the seasons is the perfect time for replacing or checking your current fluid levels and topping up!
