The winter season brings with it a variety of challenges for Michigan drivers. From snow and ice to frigid temperatures, these conditions can cause dangerous situations if a vehicle isn't properly prepared.
Tire Change
Tires are among the most important aspects of winter performance in any car. Old, worn tires or slick summer tires can spell disaster when snow, ice, or freezing temperatures hit. To ensure good winter performance, we recommend that you have your tires inspected by trained professionals. They can let you know if the tread is too low or if you need to switch to a different style of tires to ensure safety.
Wash and Wax
Washing your vehicle can remove pollen and dirt that has accumulated during the warmer months. This leaves a clean layer of paint that's ready to accept a layer of vehicle wax. Wax has protective properties that can help shield your vehicle's paint from ice, snow, and more. It's a great way to prevent paint damage and rust during winter.
Top off Fluids
You'll need to have your proper fluids filled before winter hits. We recommend getting an oil change as well as topping off important fluids like antifreeze and washer fluid.
Inspect or Change Battery
Extreme cold temperatures can strain automotive batteries and cause them to die prematurely. It's smart to have your battery checked to make sure it can last through winter. If necessary, you may need to install a new unit before freezing temperatures arrive.
