Prep Your Car for Winter with Chevy Service

Before winter weather arrives, make sure you are prepared by scheduling a Chevy service appointment. Several things need to be checked and replaced if necessary to ensure your car is ready for the rough weather ahead. Contact Mauer Main Chevrolet for all of your Chevy service needs.

Switch to Winter Tires

Winter tires are specifically manufactured to withstand the harshest winter road conditions. They handle better and provide extra traction to navigate ice and snow. Switching to winter tires before cold, wet weather arrives will keep you safe and give you peace of mind.

Battery Testing

A strong battery is imperative for navigating roads in colder weather. Frigid temperatures mean difficult starting if the battery is not up to par. Have your Chevrolet technician test your battery for efficacy and inspect cables and terminals for corrosion and excessive wear. When in doubt, replace the battery and components so you aren’t left in the cold with a car that won’t run.

Ensure Good Visibility

Seeing clearly in sleet, snow, and freezing rain is important. Check your wiper blades and windshield washer fluid. Replace the blades if needed and replenish the fluid so you can see clearly without obstruction. Check for working turn signals, headlights, fog lights, and brake lights so other drivers can see you clearly as well.

Inspect the Brakes

Don’t wait for winter weather to check your brakes. Keep an eye on your brake pads and brake fluid year-round. Completing repairs as they are required will keep your car operating optimally.

Get an Oil Change

The changing temperatures can have a harsh impact on your engine oil. Make a point to get a fresh oil change at the start of the winter season to last you until spring.
