As the seasons begin to change, your driving must change as well. The fall often brings rain and the potential for snow, which means that you need to be prepared for possible problems. Your car needs some preparations, too. Here is a look at how to prep your vehicle for fall driving.

Check and Change Your Tires

Your tires are the fastest wearing part of your car, and they can also mark the difference between safe and unsafe driving. The hot summer roads may have worn them down faster than usual, especially if you drove more during the summer. Inspect your tires for wear, including short treads, smeared surfaces from the heat, and punctures along the surface. If you feel that your tires are getting worn down, have them changed. Don’t forget to get tires that are appropriate for the weather that you will see in your area.

Clean and Wax Your Car

Summer winds and rains can leave a lot of dirt on your car, which can wear down your paint job. Once the finish on your car is gone, it will begin to rust. Have your car deep cleaned inside and out to make sure that it is in good condition. You can also have your car waxed from top to bottom to give it a new outer protective coat.

If you are worried about your car lasting through the fall, visit Toyota of Dothan. They can help you repair it or replace it with something more reliable.

The fall will be here before you know it, and people are already planning their fall activities. In Alabama, you can find a lot of activities for the season that take advantage of the change in weather so that everyone has a good time. Here is a look at two fun fall events in Alabama.

Cullman Oktoberfest

With the fall comes the Cullman Oktoberfest, which will be held the first weekend of October. Like similarly named festivals, Cullman Oktoberfest celebrates the season with some traditional German and modern American pastimes. Events are planned for this year, including a car show, races, and walking tours of the town’s history. Along the way, there will be plenty of traditional German foods, as well as a healthy appreciation of beer across the town.

National Shrimp Festival

Alabama is well known for having some of the best and most plentiful seafood options since it sits on the Gulf Coast. That’s why the National Shrimp Festival is held in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It celebrates the state’s shrimp harvest, as well as other seafood options. You can stop by the festival on the second full weekend of October. This year’s headliner is Joe Diffie, and there will be plenty of other musical acts and entertainment throughout the festival.

There are events scheduled all over Alabama, so a bit of driving will be needed to see them all. Stop by Toyota of Dothan if your car needs work, or if you think you might need a new one.

For many people, driving tends to become an activity that is done without much thought. However, you may have fallen into a rut with the habits you have when you’re behind the wheel. Check out these tips to improve your driving skills.

Stick to the Speed Limit

It’s often tempting to hit the gas pedal and fly down the road when you’re in the driver’s seat. However, speeding comes with a number of risks. Going too fast makes it harder to stop, which can be especially dangerous if you’re driving in a neighborhood or on roads with a lot of pedestrian traffic. Driving too far over the speed limit can result in a traffic citation, and it can also lower your fuel economy, which means you’ll spend more at the pump.

Never Drive Distracted

We’ve all heard of the dangers of texting while driving, but there are a number of other ways you can become distracted. When you’re driving, your full attention should be on the road. Make a commitment to minimize the use of your cellphone when you’re driving. Texting when you’re behind the wheel can be more dangerous than driving drunk. Don’t do anything else that could distract you, such as watching videos, changing the music, or eating.

Maintain Your Vehicle

Keeping up with required vehicle maintenance is one of the easiest ways to protect your investment. Be sure to get the oil changed, keep fluids topped off, and take care of any necessary flushes at regular intervals.

Adopt these habits and you could become a better driver, improve your safety record, and keep your car in good condition.
