Behind the Scenes: Meet the Jefferson Auto Service Team

Introduction: September is the month of transitions. Kids head back to school, commutes get longer, sports practices ramp up, and life speeds up after the slower pace of summer. In the rush to adjust, there’s one key player in your daily routine that often gets overlooked: your vehicle. Whether you're juggling morning drop-offs, work commutes, grocery runs, or all of the above, your car is doing a lot more than just getting you from A to B. It’s your silent partner in the school-year hustle. And like any hard working partner, it needs a little care to keep up. Why Fall is the Perfect Time for Preventive Maintenance Summer’s extreme heat, long drives, and vacation road trips can take a toll on your vehicle. Add to that the demands of fall—cooler temps, increased stop-and-go traffic, and shorter daylight hours—and your car could be heading into the busiest part of the year already worn down. Getting your car checked now, before the Michigan cold hits, helps you: Avoid unexpected breakdowns during your daily routine Save money by catching small issues early Keep your family safe during school runs and weekend errands It’s not just about performance. It’s about peace of mind. The Back-to-School Vehicle Wellness Checklist At Jefferson Auto Service, we believe that well-maintained vehicles make for safer, smoother routines. Here’s what we recommend checking this time of year: Brakes – Are they squeaking, grinding, or feeling soft? We’ll inspect your pads, rotors, and fluid levels. Tires – Fall brings wet roads and slick leaves. We check for tread depth, uneven wear, and proper inflation (including your spare). Fluids – Coolant, oil, transmission, brake, washer—all essential to keeping your car in top form. Battery – Cold mornings can kill a weak battery. We offer quick, no-pressure tests so you're not stuck at school pickup. Lights and Wipers – With less daylight and more rain, visibility matters. We replace bulbs and blades as needed. Cabin Air Filter – Keep allergens and odors out, especially important for families with kids in the car every day. We Get It. You’re Busy. That’s Why We Make It Easy.
