Fall Service and Maintenance in Newport News, VA

Now that summer is ending and the crisp, cold nights of autumn are coming, you need to think about caring for your Lexus. Our Service Department at Priority Lexus Newport News is here with a fall service and maintenance plan that is made to help you stay comfortable and prepared for the months ahead. 

Whether you have a Lexus IS 350, NX 350, or GX 550, your vehicle has a cabin air filter that is designed to catch and contain pollution before it reaches the interior of your vehicle. The fall months in Newport News are rife with pollen and various allergens in the atmosphere. If you want to make sure that you’re breathing fresh air and dampening your allergies while journeying through this area, check your current air filter to see if it’s dirty and replace it if necessary. Not only does it help keep the interior of your car fresh, but it ensures that the HVAC system of your car does not have to work as hard to push air through the vents. 

The fall months can be dark, cold, and wet. Those conditions can make traveling on I-664 a bit more challenging even when you’re piloting a luxury vehicle. Fortunately, you can make sure that you’re prepared for a late-season snowstorm by scheduling a service appointment. We can examine your tires, ascertaining whether they have the correct tread depth needed to safely traverse highways or if they need to be replaced. During the same inspection, we can look at your brakes to check that the rotors, pads, and brake fluid are all in good condition. If you had spent the summer months doing a lot of driving or towing, these examinations and repairs are very important, or you may find that your vehicle is tough to operate. 

Now that the hot months and beach trips are at an end, it’s time to reconfigure the interior of your car. Start by cleaning out items you don’t need to carry anymore, like folding chairs for watching your little ones play at Riverview Farm Park. That way, your Lexus is not carrying any excessive weight. Make sure to clean off the upholstery to remove any errant sunscreen that wiped off onto the seats and vacuum sand that made its way onto the carpet. While you’re at it, take a few moments to restock your car for the winter months. Pack an emergency kit with hand warmers, gloves, jackets, and emergency blankets. If you have space, a collapsible shovel is good to have as well. If you’d like to get more fall service and maintenance tips from our Lexus experts, simply contact us!
