HAVE YOUR CAR SERVICED FOR WINTER CONDITIONS

Before you hit any harsh winter conditions, have your vehicle serviced to prepare it for the challenges winter can pose.

●Battery – Battery power decreases as the temperature drops, meaning that it takes more power to start your car in the winter. If your battery is already having problems, your risk of breaking down increases. It is recommended that your auto care provider installs a battery at or above 600 CCA for optimal winter performance.

● Cooling system – It is recommended to maintain a ratio between 50/50 and 70/30 of antifreeze to water. Ask your technician what antifreeze should be used for your vehicle and the appropriate coolant-to-water ratio to prevent against corrosion and potential freezing.

● Brakes – While cold weather doesn’t necessarily hurt your brakes, a thorough inspection can ensure the best performance when driving in winter conditions.

● Belts, hoses, spark plugs, wires and cables – These can go bad at any time of year, but if they go bad during the winter, you could be stranded in a very cold place for a very long time.

We have had a lot of rain and minor flooding lately. Driving through deep water increases the risk of damage to your engine, brakes, the air intake, and the electrical system in your vehicle. This increased risk exists even for high profile vehicles. Some of the air intake system could be underneath the vehicle. Six inches of water is enough to hit the bottom of most passenger cars, flooding the exhaust and leaving you immobile. If you cannot walk through water (especially moving water), do not attempt to drive across it.

With the new year comes a Tune-Up. Keeping your car in optimal running condition is a must. Generally, a tune-up consists of checking the engine for parts that need cleaning, fixing, or replacing. Common areas under inspection include filters, spark plugs, belts and hoses, car fluids, rotors, and distributor caps. Many of these only require a visual inspection or a simple test.
Call us today and schedule a time for us to check your car.
