Car wipers should be changed constantly, especially between the summer and winter seasons, but it is important to check them before entering fall and make sure that the process of removing water from the glass is done without issues and covers the entire glass, and if you notice that there are places that are not wiped well, you should change the wipers completely so that you get better cleaning and faster wiping and to have a clear vision in front of you during heavy rainfall.
Make sure all the lights are working
You should make sure that the internal and external lights in your car are intact. Take a tour around your car at night or with the help of one of your friends or relatives to make sure that all lights work without issues, such as front and rear lights, the four warning lights, reversing lights and fog lights, and make sure that all lights inside your car are intact as well so that visibility is clear in case of emergencies.
Check the air filters

Check the brakes
