Winter weather can take a toll on your vehicle. Freezing temperatures, snow, and ice create hazardous driving conditions that require your car to be in top shape. We want to help keep you safe on the roads this season. That's why we're going to suggest some helpful and important winter auto service tips to consider.
Check Your Battery
Cold weather can reduce your car battery's cranking power. Have your battery tested to ensure it can handle the winter temperatures. It takes more power to start your vehicle in the winter. That's why it's important to replace an old or weak battery before it fails. This lets you drive with confidence and prevents you from being stranded.
Inspect and Change Your Tires
Make sure your tires have adequate tread depth for traction on slick roads. Consider switching to winter tires for optimal performance in snow and ice. Check your tire pressure regularly, as it tends to drop in colder temperatures. If your tires are looking worn out, we can rotate them for you. We can also assist you in purchasing new tires.
Inspect Your Brake System
Your brakes are critical for safe winter driving. Have your brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels inspected. Functioning anti-lock brakes can help you maintain control in slippery conditions.
Check the Coolant
The right mix of antifreeze and water in your coolant prevents freezing. Have your coolant tested for proper mixture and for any signs of leaks. Coolant keeps your engine performing properly and prevents it from freezing in frigid temperatures.
Inspect Lights and Electrical System
Shorter winter days mean more driving in the dark. Inspect all exterior and interior lights and replace any burnt-out bulbs. Have your alternator and starter checked to avoid electrical system failure.
