The main procedures in preparing a car for operation in the fall are a full diagnostics of its technical condition, as well as replacement of spark plugs and brake pads, said Alexander Nosko, head of the service department of the FRESH automobile marketplace. He gave advice to Russians on preparing a car for the cold season in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
