Keep the Frights Out of Your Fall Drive

Keep the Frights Out of Your Fall Drive

October in St. Petersburg isn’t just about costume parties and haunted houses—it’s also Fall Car Care Month, the perfect time to make sure your vehicle doesn’t turn into something scary on the road. At JB Import Automotive Repair, we’re helping drivers keep the ghosts, gremlins, and ghastly noises out of their European and exotic cars with expert maintenance that keeps every system running smoothly.

Because when it comes to your car, a rattle in the dark or a squeal around the corner should never give you chills.


Avoid Creepy Car Surprises

There’s nothing more unsettling than an unexpected noise or warning light on your dashboard. This time of year, our technicians see plenty of “tricks” that drivers didn’t plan for:

  • Screeching brakes that sound like a banshee’s wail.
  • Dead batteries that strike when you least expect it.
  • Flickering lights that make your dash look possessed.
  • Leaking fluids that leave mysterious puddles under your car.

We’ve seen it all—and we know exactly how to bring your vehicle back from the automotive afterlife. From oil changes to brake inspections, our team performs thorough checks so your car stays ready for every drive… no full moon required.


Fall Car Care Month: Maintenance That’s All Treat, No Trick

Fall is the ideal time to reset your vehicle’s health before the busy holiday season. Here’s what we recommend every driver check this month:


Brake Inspection

Don’t ignore the spooky sounds—squeaks or grinding could mean it’s time for service. We’ll inspect pads, rotors, and brake fluid to ensure you can stop safely when it matters most.


Battery & Charging System

Cooler nights can reveal weak batteries. We’ll test yours to make sure your car doesn’t play dead on you.


Fluids & Filters

Old oil and dirty filters can haunt your engine’s performance. We use premium, manufacturer-approved fluids for every European brand we service.


Tires & Alignment

If your car’s drifting like a phantom or you notice uneven tread wear, it might be time for a precision alignment or rotation.
