Fall Cleaning Tips For Your CJDR | Granville, NY
Fall is in full swing and there is no time like the present to get your vehicle ready for the months ahead! Getting your CJDR in tip-top shape for the fall/winter season can seem like a HUGE overhaul, but with a little guidance from our team, I believe we can do it together! That’s why this week’s blog is dedicated to helping you check off your fall maintenance. So get ready to roll up your sleeves, because we’re cleaning in this week’s blog! Check out our fall cleaning tips below, or schedule your service appointment today and leave the rest to our team!
Car Battery:
- Pop open your hood and brush away the dust. Fall is a great time to inspect your car battery to ensure there are no issues down the road when the colder weather creeps in!
- Make sure your engine cables and terminals are in good shape and retighten if necessary for good contact.
- Make sure there’s no corrosion or dirt build-up. If this is the case, this would be a good time to disconnect and clean them up.
- If your vehicle is newer and you have a maintenance-free battery with no removable caps, there’s not much for you to do besides peeking around the remainder of your hood to ensure there are no leaks, breaks, or issues.
Headlights:
- Many new vehicles have LED headlights that you can’t just pop out and clean, so you might need scheduled maintenance with our team if this is your situation.
- If you still have non-LED lighting, it’s important to clean/replace your headlights to avoid haziness.
- Clouded headlights can be a safety hazard, compromising night vision, and reducing the effectiveness of your headlights. This is especially dangerous in winter, where conditions are less than favorable and the darkness is more consistent.
- You can purchase a headlight cleaning kit, or use household items such as a toothbrush, baking soda, and the owner’s manual approved products.
Tires:
- Tire maintenance is always a must, not just during the winter months. However, your tires play a crucial role in your vehicle’s winter performance.
- The first thing you should do is to check your tire tread. When your tread is 2/32″ your tires are considered bald and you will need to replace your tires immediately. If your tire tread is above this you’re okay, but should consider replacing soon if it’s closer to balding.
- Most vehicles are purchased with all-season tires, which provide good performance all year round. However, if you live in a very snowy area, we highly suggest purchasing snow tires.
- Once your tires are on and in good condition, we suggest scrubbing away any dirt, grime, or buildup.
Wash & Wax:
- Chances are your vehicle needs good washing after all your summer travel. Between dirt, dead bugs, and even beach sand, your exterior probably isn’t shining like it used to.
- Give your vehicle a good cleaning, this means the top, sides, underneath, and even the tires.
- Once you’ve washed your car, it’s a good idea to wax your vehicle’s exterior. Getting a car wax is a great way to keep your car’s finish looking new.
- Waxing can be tricky, so be sure to check your owner’s manual for safe products from your vehicle or leave it to the pros in our service department!
Wipers:
- Windshield wipers maintenance is regularly overlooked. However, your wipers are extremely important for your vision behind the wheel…especially in the fall and winter months.
- Leaves will be falling very soon, and rain is no stranger to the fall months. This means you’ll need strong wipers to clear the leaves and rain off your windshield.
- Right after the leaves comes the snow, and anyone who has driven in a snowstorm knows how important your winters are.
- If your wipers are leaving streaks of water on your windshield, it’s time to replace or clean them.
- Although drivers rarely change them, wipers break down pretty quickly. In fact, they should be changed every 6-12 months.
Interior:
- It’s time to say goodbye to the trash that’s taken up a vacancy in your car! After traveling all summer long, it’s only normal your interior needs a little pick me up.
- We suggest grabbing a garbage bag, your vacuum cleaner, and some multi-surface cleaner.
- First started by taking everything out, and we mean everything!
- Then, vacuum away crumbs, dust, and whatever else is in there. Don’t forget to clean off whatever item you’ll be putting back in your vehicle.
- Then it’s time to dust, spray down your dash, console, gear shift, radio system, and of course windows!
- Finally, put whatever you’re keeping back inside your cabin in a neat and orderly way, and toss whatever is remaining!

How To Check Your Tire’s Tread | Granville, NY
You should be monitoring your tread depth closely once it reaches 4/32 inch deep.
- 4/32” or deeper = your tread is still in good shape
- 3/32” = your tread is wearing and you should replace soon
- 2/32” = it’s time to replace your tires as soon as possible
Now, put your tread to the test with these easy-to-follow tests:
The Penny Test
- Insert a penny into your tire’s tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down into the tread facing toward you. If you can see all of the head, your tread depth is less than 2/32” and it is time to replace your tires.
The Quarter Test
- We want to recreate the same test but instead of a penny, we are going to use a quarter. If the tread reaches Washington’s head on the quarter, you have at least 4/32” of tread remaining. This means that your tire’s tread is still in good health!
Don’t have change? We have you covered!
- Take a look at your tread wear indicator bar that is molded into the tread of your tires. Bars are located at the bottom of tread grooves in multiple locations; when these bars are visibly flush with the adjacent ribs, your tire has no more than 2/32” of tread left. This is a visible indication that you need to swap out these tires!

Get Your CJDR Ready For Fall! | Granville, NY
September is basically here and before we know it the weather will start changing and the leaves will start falling. But before fall kicks into high gear, it might be a good time to service your CJDR for the fall, right here at Zappone CJDR in Granville! Whether your ride just needs a tune-up after a long summer of travel or is in need of more serious service, our team can get the job done quickly! However, we know a lot of our CJDR owners like to complete service on their own, which is why we have some DIY fall service for you to complete before the weather starts changing. Take a peek below to see what service you start completing, or head over to our service scheduler to schedule an appointment today!
Battery Power:
- Making sure your battery is fresh is important. The experts say you should change your battery every 3 years, though you could get away with 5 depending on how much you drive…If you’re thinking to yourself “I can’t remember the last time I changed my battery,” it might be time to do so.
- Make sure the cables are not loose. With the engine off, see if the cables can slip free from the nodes. Don’t yank, but be firm.
- Check for corrosion, a white powder that forms around the nodes or clamps of your battery. You can clean this off using baking soda, water, and a toothbrush.
Fill your Fluids:
- It might cost you a little bit more but invest in a “winter blend” type of windshield wiper fluid. These tend to have more alcohol in them and less water so the chance of freezing is less.
- If your windshield washer fluid tank hasn’t been flushed in a few years then it could use it! Be sure not to mix colors; most antifreeze is green, blue, or yellow, but be sure not to mix colors.
- Checking your vehicle’s oil is important. If you have not had an oil change in a long time, it might be time for one.
Additional Preventative Measures:
- Buy an emergency kit with cables, a first aid kit, flares, a battery-powered air compressor, and other things that can prevent a minor inconvenience from becoming a major problem.
- Check the clarity of all your lights.
- Keeping the gas tank at half-filled can help prevent a fuel line freeze; so can that fuel-line antifreeze mentioned earlier.
- Tire pressure is important in the snow, be sure that your vehicle’s tires are to the correct PSI.
Get ready. Get set. It’s time for one last summer road trip! Whether your road trip is going to take you somewhere close like the Adirondacks or Catskills or perhaps somewhere far like a different state, we want to help make sure that you pack the best survival kit to help get you through your last summer road trip of 2021! Below, we have listed out must-have items for parents and children so your life is a little easier when it comes time to pack up your bags! Check it out and let us know if we have missed anything on the list!
For The Parents:
- Car chargers for devices
- GPS or Map App on smartphone
- Wipes, paper towels, or towels (you choose!)
- Light, non-messy snacks, and water to stay hydrated
