Don’t Get Spooked by Car Trouble This October

October is Fall Car Care Month, and while we’re all for haunted houses and scary movies, car problems shouldn’t be part of the horror show. This time of year is all about prepping your vehicle before the real “scary stuff” starts—like unexpected breakdowns, dead batteries, or mysterious dashboard lights that seem to appear out of nowhere.
We’re here to make sure your vehicle doesn’t become a Halloween nightmare. Whether you’re a daily commuter, weekend road-tripper, or just trying to get through pumpkin patch season without a check engine light, this is your reminder: car care doesn’t have to be creepy.
Why Fall Car Care Month Matters (Yes, Even in SoCal)
You might be thinking, “Fall car care? In Fullerton? We barely get weather!” True—but that’s kind of the point. Your car works year-round, and hot, dry conditions cause their own type of wear and tear—especially on your battery, brakes, tires, and cooling system.
Fall is the perfect time to:
- Catch up on maintenance
- Handle minor repairs before they turn into major ones
- Prep your car for holiday travel before the rush
- Replace worn-out parts that didn’t survive summer
If you’ve been searching for complete auto service near you, consider this your sign to stop putting it off.
Scary Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
Here are a few “haunted” car symptoms that might seem harmless… until they’re not:
- Screeching brakes – Not just annoying. It could mean worn pads or rotor damage.
- Rattling under the hood – It’s not a ghost—it’s probably a belt, mount, or loose part.
- Dim or flickering headlights – Check your battery or alternator before you get left in the dark.
- Dashboard lights – If your dash looks like it’s dressed up for Halloween, let’s check it out.
