Important Winter Auto Maintenance Tasks

Winter weather brings slickened roads and limited visibility, making it all the more important that safety precautions are taken. At the outset of winter, it’s a good idea to get your brakes professionally inspected so you can be confident that you’ll be able to slow down as safely as possible. If the inspection reveals that you need any maintenance to be done, such as brake pad replacement, then we can take care of it quickly. 

To help ensure that you have a safe level of visibility, old wiper blades should be replaced and wiper fluid should be topped up. Also, you’ll want to get your heater/defroster checked so that you can trust you’ll have a clear view of the road ahead through your windshield----while also staying safely warm when temperatures turn frigid. 

Another important safety task is to get your exhaust system inspected. This is because you’ll be driving with your windows up throughout the winter so it’s particularly important that you don’t have an exhaust leak and toxic fumes are being properly directed away.

It’s also a good idea to get your battery checked. Because freezing temperatures can be so harsh on a car battery, it’s wise to have yours checked by the mechanic so that you can feel confident it won’t die in freezing weather and leave you stranded.

Also, before the coldest weather hits, you should be sure that you’re driving with the right level of clean antifreeze, which will help to ensure that your engine remains at a healthy temperature.
