Winter Maintenance Tips

Recommended Winter Maintenance Services

1. Battery Inspection/Testing: To ensure everything’s working right, you can have one of our experts look over your battery and its connections. Testing your battery tells you whether or not it needs replacement so you don’t get stranded in the cold.
2. Tire Inspection: We’ll check the pressures, measure tread depth, and install snow tires if preferred.
3. HVAC Inspection: You want to remain comfortable in the cold, and your HVAC makes that happen. We’ll check your defrost, heater, steering wheel warmer, and seat warmers to ensure everything’s ready.
4. Brake Inspection: Ice and snow are hazardous to drive on, so we should look over your brakes to make sure they can handle stopping in slippery conditions.
5. Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection: Cracks and chips can worsen in the cold, so it’s best to get them repaired now before they become a bigger problem requiring total windshield replacement later.
6. Check Wiper Blades: Your windshield wiper blades promote visibility and safety in the snow and wintery mix, so they must perform as expected during winter.
7. Change Washer Fluid: Your washer fluid should be a winter blend to avoid freezing while optimizing windshield ice and debris removal.
8. Check/Replace Coolant and Antifreeze: With antifreeze in your coolant to keep it from freezing over, you want to ensure the fluid is at capacity.
9. Roadside Safety Kit: Our experts can help you decide what’s best to have in your roadside emergency kit in your car. Contact us to order a genuine OEM roadside emergency kit from the accessories department.
