🍂 Fall
◦ Prep for colder weather: Get a full inspection—brakes, battery, fluids, and tires.
◦ Touch up paint: Fix chips and scratches before winter moisture causes rust.
◦ Check lights: Days get shorter—make sure headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are working.
❄️ Winter

◦ Check for rust: Inspect wheel wells, doors, and underbody for early signs of corrosion.
◦ Inspect wipers & glass: Replace worn wipers and check for chips or cracks in your windshield.
☀️ Summer
◦ Protect your paint: UV rays can fade paint—wax your car or consider a ceramic coating.
