School is back in session and football is back on television…that means the fall season is upon us. Here are a few things to check to get your Porsche ready for the fall months, and keep you safe on the road.

Headlights/Other Lights
With shorter days and longer nights, you use the lights in your Porsche more during the fall (and winter) months. For visibility and safety reasons, make sure they are in proper working order by checking your taillights, parking lights, stop lights, fog lights and emergency flashers. It’s important for you to see on the road, as well as for others to see you.

August isn’t just the last full month of summer, it’s also Brake Safety Awareness Month. If you’re planning on taking one last summer vacation before the season is over and before school starts, be sure to have your brakes checked out to keep you and your family safe on the road.

Owning a German car can be expensive, but that expense can pay off if reliability is something you look for in a vehicle, especially a German vehicle.

According to J.D. Power’s 2013 Vehicle Dependability Survey, Porsche was listed second overall, and Mercedes-Benz wasn’t far behind in the number 5 spot. For the second straight year, Lexus holds the crown ranking the highest brand in vehicle durability.
