The ultimate guide to winter vehicle preparation

Winter Driving Challenges

Winter weather presents unique challenges for vehicle owners. From freezing temperatures to snow and ice, your car needs special preparation to handle these conditions safely and reliably.

Battery Health Check

Cold weather is hard on batteries. A battery that tests fine in summer may fail in winter. Our comprehensive battery testing includes:

• Load testing to measure cold cranking amps
• Terminal cleaning and corrosion removal
• Charging system verification
• Replacement recommendations

Fluid and Lubrication

Winter-grade fluids prevent freezing and ensure proper lubrication:

• Antifreeze concentration testing
• Oil viscosity check for cold starts
• Transmission fluid condition
• Power steering and brake fluid inspection

Tire Safety

Winter tires provide crucial traction on snow and ice:

• Tread depth measurement
• Tire pressure adjustment for cold weather
• Rotation for even wear
• Spare tire inspection

Heating and Defrosting

A properly functioning heating system is essential:

• Heater core and blower motor check
• Defroster verification
• Window seal inspection
• Cabin air filter replacement

Emergency Preparedness

Winter emergencies require preparation:

• Ice scraper and snow brush
• Emergency kit with blankets and water
• Jumper cables and flashlight
• First aid supplies
