Winter Maintenance & Tips

Importance of maintenance before winter

You need to get your vehicle ready for winter to keep it in the best possible condition. You also need to prepare your vehicle for winter to ensure safety. Winter temperatures can be hard on numerous vehicle components, including your engine, battery, electrical system, and heater. Winter weather can also cause safety hazards if your tires are not in good condition. It’s a good idea to bring your vehicle in for a tune-up before the winter arrives.

Services we offer to prepare your vehicle for winter

The following are a few services your vehicle might need to get ready for the winter. We offer specials on many of these services that you should check out!

• Battery – Your battery needs a good charge to start your vehicle in the cold. We’ll check your battery charge and install a new battery if necessary.
• Tire inspection – Your tires need adequate tread to maintain control while you drive over winter precipitation. We’ll check your tire tread and replace your tires if necessary.
• Coolant check – You need enough antifreeze in your coolant to protect your system as the temperature gets below freezing. We’ll check your coolant level and top off your coolant if necessary.
• Windshield Services – We’ll check your windshield for cracks that need to be repaired. We’ll also refill washer fluid with a winter formula and make sure your wiper blades are in good shape.
• HVAC system inspection – A properly functioning heater is essential in the winter. You need your heater not only to keep you comfortable but also to melt snow and ice that detracts from visibility off your windshield.
• Roadside safety – You need to be prepared for a wintertime breakdown with a well-equipped roadside safety kit.
• Brake inspection – Roads can get slippery in the winter, so a properly functioning braking system is essential for safety. We’ll inspect your brakes and perform any necessary maintenance or repairs before winter arrives.
