Winter Maintenance Tips

Tire Inspection

It is always critical to ensure that your tires are in good condition, especially when tires are the first part of your car to touch the road. Winter conditions such as cold temperatures can reduce the pressure and conditions of your tires. A tire inspection includes evaluating tread wear and inflation pressures to ensure safe driving this winter.

Battery Inspection & Test

When batteries start to wear out, they tend to die during cooler weather. It is very inconvenient for your battery to die on you on a cold morning or while you are out in public in the cold. Technicians can provide ultimate winter care with a battery inspection and testing.

Brake Inspection

Powerful braking at factory specifications is always important, which is why our technicians will check component quality to determine if your brake pads, rotors, or fluid require replacement.

Engine Coolant

All engines need to have plenty of coolant/antifreeze in the colder months to keep the engine from freezing due to sub-zero temperatures. Be sure to replenish the coolant/antifreeze to capacity before winter.

Wiper Blades and Winter Fluid

You should always start winter off with a fresh set of windshield wipers so that you can remove any debris, ice, or other elements from your windshield when driving. After changing these wiper blades, our technicians will shift the washer fluid to a winter blend that keeps ice build-up off of your windshield when you need to use the fluid in freezing temperatures. We also recommend a windshield inspection and repair service if needed to restore visibility and safety in adverse weather.

HVAC Inspection

Be sure to check the HVAC system for peak cabin heating, defrosting, seat warmer, and steering wheel warmers operation.

Roadside Safety Kit

We recommend preparing for everything in sub-zero temperatures and driving conditions with a roadside safety/emergency kit. Make sure to include bottled water, non-perishable snacks, blankets, and a flashlight for emergencies. Contact us to order an OEM kit from the accessories department.
