Alarm clock surrounded by fall leaves

The clock is finally winding down on the transition from summer to autumn here in Madison, Wisconsin. Or, at least rolling backward. The extra hour of daylight was fun while it lasted, but it’s time to fall back. That’s right, we’re talking about Daylight Saving Time.

Yes, the extra hour of sleep in the morning will be as lovely as it always is this time of year. The increased risk of traffic accidents, however, won’t be. At Zimbrick, we’re all about keeping you safe. Here are five services we offer to prepare you for the time change on November 5.

5 Zimbrick Daylight Saving Time Services You Can Fall Back On

A/C and Heat

This one is more about comfort than safety, but it’s important nonetheless. Daylight Saving Time signals the closeness of winter, and therefore, colder temperatures. You don’t need one more thing distracting you from the road and getting you out of your comfort zone. That’s why we’ll check your car’s air conditioning and heating to ensure you’re warm for your daily commute.  

Brakes

The days will soon be getting shorter, but that won’t stop your fellow commuters from hitting the road. You’ll want to make sure that your brakes are in great shape and ready to avoid accidents while other travelers are adjusting to the dimmer drive home. That’s where we come in. At Zimbrick, we inspect and repair brakes year-round.

Headlights

The most noticeable difference this time of year is that it’s getting dark earlier. While there’s nothing you can do to change that, there’s one very simple thing you can do to combat it: have us check your headlights. With darker streets, you want to see as much as possible. We’ll help you light the way home during early nights.

Tires

Avoiding surprises is impossible, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared. With worn or deflated tires, the road becomes riskier. We can check the pressure of your tires, rotate, or replace them. Plus, as winter nears, we offer specialized winter tire installation.

Windshield Wipers

Visibility is difficult enough with less daylight, but it can turn from bad to worse with a dirty windshield. Do yourself a favor by letting our expert technicians make sure you have a clear line of vision. We can install new wiper blades or replace your windshield wiper fluid. It may sound simple, but it can make all the difference in the world.
