Winter Maintenance Tips

The Ten Services You Need to Get Ready for Winter

1. Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection

Cold weather can make cracks and chips in your windshield worse, which is why you should get your windshield inspected for any problems that need to be taken care of soon.

2. Tire Inspection

Tires that have worn treads can be dangerous in the winter, and the cold weather can also affect the tire pressure. We’ll also change your tires to snow tires if you so desire.

3. Brake Inspection

Inspecting your brakes ensures that you know exactly how your brakes are doing before the icy roads and winter weather come in. You’ll be able to get your brakes into excellent condition for the coming winter.

4. Battery Inspection

Checking your battery for external problems helps ensure that you can start up easily when the cold weather hits. We want to keep you from needing a jump or a tow in the cold winter weather.

5. HVAC Inspection

We’ll take a look at your HVAC systems, paying special attention to the defrost, heater, seat warmers, and steering wheel warmers.

6. Battery Testing

The best way to know if your battery can handle the winter weather is to test it, and we’ll let you know if you need to replace your battery or not based on that test.

7. Check Windshield Wiper Blades

Your wipers keep your visibility intact when there’s rain or snow, so you want to make sure they can remove anything that falls on your windshield.

8. Change Washer Fluid to Winter Blend

The windshield washer fluid should be a winter blend to avoid freezing problems.

9. Check/Replace Coolant and Antifreeze

Your antifreeze levels are vital to keeping your coolant from freezing over.

10. Roadside Safety Kit

Our friendly staff will help you know what kinds of things to put in your emergency roadside safety kit.
