Prepare Your Car for Winter

As the temperatures start to drop and winter starts to creep in, it's important to start thinking about how to prepare your car for the colder months. Driving in winter weather can be tough on your car, so it's important to take the necessary steps to make sure your car is up for the challenge. Here are a few tips on how to prepare your car for winter.


Check Your Tires

One of the most important things you can do to prepare your car for winter is to check your tires. Cold weather can cause your tires to lose air pressure, which can have a significant impact on your tire's ability to grip the road. In addition, check the tread on your tires to make sure they have enough tread to provide traction in winter weather.

Change Your Oil

Another important thing to do before winter weather hits is to change your oil. Cold weather can cause your oil to thicken, which can make it harder for your engine to start. What's more, if your oil is dirty, your engine will have to work harder in the cold weather. So it's crucial that you get your oil checked or changed before winter arrives.


Check Your Battery

Cold weather can also have an impact on your car battery. When the temperature drops, your battery's chemical reaction slows down, which can make it harder for your battery to start your car. To avoid being stranded with a dead battery, make sure to have it checked by one of our mechanics before the cold weather hits.


Check Your Wiper Blades

Your windshield wipers play an important role in keeping you safe on the road during winter weather. If your wiper blades are worn out, they won't be able to clear away all the snow and ice, which could lead to decreased visibility and dangerous driving conditions. To avoid this, make sure you replace your wiper blades before winter hits.


These are just a few tips on how to prepare your car for winter. If you want more information or need help preparing your car for the colder months, come see us. We'll be happy to help you get your car ready for winter weather.
