Oil Change
The bleak seasonal weather adversely affects many areas of your vehicle, and if not treated properly, can leave you in a terrible situation. An oil change, for example, is a critical component to winterization and must include a specific oil with the right viscosity, or thickness, so that it keeps your engine lubricated- do not procrastinate!
Wiper Blades
Another type of preventative maintenance includes replacing your wiper blades. A standard set of wiper blades lasts about one year. When salt, brine and ice begin to accumulate, visibility is reduced. Having a fresh set of blades in conjunction with a full reservoir of windshield washer fluid can be a tremendous lifesaver.
Battery Voltage
To avoid an impromptu jumpstart in the middle of a blizzard, be sure to have your battery voltage checked, then double checked, particularly, if your battery is more than a couple years old! Our service staff will make sure that your battery’s posts and connections are corrosion free.
Belts and Hoses
Even if you’ve purchased a newer vehicle, Jack Frost has a way of abusing even the most modern belts and hoses. Be proactive by letting our experts check for wear and tear so that you’re safer on the country roads.
Tire Pressure
We wrap up our winterization checklist with a tire-pressure check! Properly inflating your tires increases the amount of traction you’re able to maintain with the road. Traction can be affected in wet, snowy or icy conditions and can jeopardize the safety of your family. Better protect them making sure that your tires are ideally inflated.
