  1. Tire Inspection – Be sure to check your tire’s tread level to ensure proper grip. Also, check the pressure level of each tire. Finally, consider switching out to winter tires if you plan on doing lots of driving in the snow.
  2. Perform a Brake Inspection – You don’t want to drive on the snow and ice with bad brakes. Check to see if your vehicle brakes at a proper distance. Also, if you want a complete brake inspection, visit our service center today for a complete diagnostic check.
  3. Test Your Vehicle’s Battery – Don’t get stuck on a winter road with a dead battery. Check the cold cranking amperage of your vehicle’s battery. Also, check for any corrosion on the battery casing and battery terminals.
  4. Change Washer Fluid to Winter Blend – Your washer fluid may freeze in cold weather. This could make it impossible to properly clean your windshield while driving. Change your washer fluid to a winter blend to keep your windshield clean all winter season long.
  5. Check or Replace Wiper Blades – Also, good wiper blades will play a significant role in the visibility out of your windshield. Check your wiper blades for any signs of excessive wear, including peeling rubber and bent blades. If your wiper blades are worn, then have them replaced right away.
  6. Check or Replace Engine Antifreeze – Make sure that your engine doesn’t freeze up at the worst possible time. Check the antifreeze level on your vehicle. If you need antifreeze service, then be sure to visit our service center today.
  7. Windshield Crack & Chip Inspection – Don’t let a small windshield crack or chip lead to big problems on the road. Inspect your windshield for any damage and have the glass repaired right away. We can provide fast and affordable windshield repair care at our service center.
  8. Prepare a Roadside Safety Kit – Be prepared for the worst! Create a roadside safety kit if you find yourself on the side of the road. Your roadside safety kit should include flashlights, gloves, a road hazard sign, flares, and a first aid kit.
  9. Perform an HVAC Inspection – Finally, you will want to make sure that your vehicle’s cabin is nice and comfortable throughout the winter. Be sure to check your vehicle’s heater. Also, check the defroster, seat warmers, and steering wheel warmer.
