Winter Maintenance Tips

Our Top Ten Ways You Can Prepare Your Car for the Winter

1. Tire Inspection: We’ll check your tires’ tread for safety and pressure to make sure it’s at the proper levels, and we can also install snow tires at your request.
2. Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection: We’ll check your windshield for any cracks and chips so that those can get taken care of before the cold comes in.
3. HVAC Inspection: Our technicians will assess your HVAC’s capacity to provide heat in the winter, paying special attention to the defrost, seat warmers, steering wheel warmers, and heater.
4. Battery Inspection: By checking the battery, its housing, connections, and the serpentine belt, we can make sure everything is working the way it should be for your battery to function well.
5. Brake Inspection: Your brakes provide you with safety and security, especially on treacherous roads. We’ll check them to make sure they’re in good enough shape for you to use throughout the winter.
6. Windshield Wiper Blade Check: The key to driving in inclement weather is visibility, which is provided by your windshield wipers. That’s why it’s vital to make sure they’re up to the task.
7. Check/Replace Engine Coolant and Antifreeze: The antifreeze is the part of your coolant fluid that stops it from freezing when not in use, so it’s best to make sure you have stable levels of coolant in your car.
8. Change Washer Fluid: Windshield washer fluid needs to be a winter blend to avoid problems with freezing.
9. Battery Testing: Our technicians will find out how much energy your battery can provide, store, and receive to make sure it doesn’t need a replacement.
10. Roadside Safety Kit: We can help you prepare your roadside safety kit in case of an emergency.
