Battery Life and Cold Weather Prep

Battery Life and Cold Weather Prep October is battery check time! Car batteries lose 20% capacity when temperatures drop below 70°F, and Dallas October nights can hit the 50s. Batteries over 3 years old are especially vulnerable to sudden failure. Warning signs include slow engine cranking, dim headlights, or dashboard battery warning lights. Clean corrosion from terminals using baking soda and water. If your battery is marginal, replace it before winter arrives - dead batteries are the #1 cause of winter roadside calls. Don't get stranded when cold weather hits Dallas in December and January! Battery trouble strikes fast - we rescue 24/7! #BatteryPrep #WinterReady https://texastows.com/battery-life-and-cold-weather-prep/

While loading her vehicle, Israel noticed her work badge identified her as a nurse at Baylor University Medical Center. Knowing how critical healthcare workers are, he offered to drive her directly to the hospital so she wouldn't miss her shift. "He went above and beyond," she wrote in her 5-star review.

Tire Pressure and Temperature Changes

Tire Pressure and Temperature Changes October temperature drops affect tire pressure! For every 10-degree temperature decrease, tire pressure drops 1-2 PSI. Under-inflated tires reduce fuel economy, wear unevenly, and increase blowout risk. Check tire pressure monthly using a quality gauge when tires are cool (not driven for 3+ hours). Don't rely on dashboard warning systems - they activate only when pressure is dangerously low. Proper inflation extends tire life and improves safety. Most Dallas gas stations have free air pumps, but many don't work properly. Invest in a portable compressor for reliable maintenance! Tire troubles on the road?

Seasonal: Fall Leaves and Vehicle Care

Seasonal: Fall Leaves and Vehicle Care Beautiful fall foliage in Dallas creates hidden vehicle hazards! Wet leaves on roads reduce traction and hide potholes that can cause tire damage or alignment issues. Leaves clogging storm drains create flooding on normally safe streets. Most importantly, wet leaves stuck under your car can block air intakes or cover exhaust components, causing overheating. After driving through heavy leaf coverage, check wheel wells and undercarriage. If your car overheats or handling feels different after leaf encounters, don't risk damage - Texas Tows provides safe transport to diagnosis and repair! Fall driving troubles?
