A Guide to Pre-Winter Auto Care in Murrayville
Although our winter season tends to lean more towards the mild side, winter weather can quickly become harsh – which can take a toll on your vehicle.
We want to share these pre-winter auto care tips, helping our customers take a proactive approach. All of which can save you from breakdowns, costly repairs, and unsafe driving conditions.
Tire Check
Winter roads can be slippery and unpredictable. Switching to winter tires will provide better traction and safety.
Unsure if your vehicle is currently equipped with winter tires? We can help!
Battery Check
Cold temperatures can reduce your battery’s power, making it harder to start your car and requiring more ‘effort’ from your battery to keep all-systems-go.
So, be sure to…
- Have Your Voltage Checked
- Get Your Connections Cleaned
- Replace Your Battery if Needed
Fluid Top-Ups
Fluids are your vehicle’s lifeblood. And during the winter, these include:
- Antifreeze/Coolant
- Winter-Grade Oil & Windshield Washer Fluid
- Brake Fluid Check
Also, ensure you have your lights and wipers checked at your next Oil & Lube service. With the days getting darker earlier and wetter longer – both are vital for your safety.
Prepare an Emergency Kit
This is an additional step many don’t take, but can make a massive difference, especially on less-travelled mountain passes. It should include:
- Jumper cables
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Warm blankets
- Non-perishable snacks and water
- A first-aid kit
- Ice scraper and snow brush
Don’t wait until the snow starts falling to think about winterizing your car. Book your Murrayville pre-winter auto maintenance appointment today and drive confidently into the season ahead.
