January and February are rough winter months- a bad time in a season that’s already not ideal for your car. Low temperatures and rough weather can take a toll on your vehicle’s tires, brakes, and other systems. At our auto repair center in Winston-Salem, we have some advice to help you keep your car, truck, van, or SUV in top shape and make it through the season without incident- all performed efficiently and skilfully by the experts on our team.
Revitalize Your Vehicle
Tires, brakes, and batteries are the three things that absolutely need to be checked out before the bad weather hits Winston-Salem. Making sure your battery’s connections are tight, clean, and free of corrosion will ensure its longevity and hardiness for winter. If it’s more than three years old, get it tested and replaced if necessary. Tires should have good tread to help keep your car in control in inclement conditions, always working in tandem with your brakes, which should also be inspected to make sure they’re road-ready.
Always See Clearly
Invisibility is a great superpower, but not an ideal road condition. Whether they’re wiping away road salt or the latest onset of sleet and snow, drivers need their windshield wiper blades in prime condition. Cracking, stiffness, and streaky results are all signs of worn wiper blades that need replacement. You can do this yourself, but if you’re not sure how, it’s never a bad idea to ask the experts- we’re just a phone call away.
Don’t forget that the heater and defroster make it easier to clear off your windows. If these systems aren’t in order, getting rid of ice or snow will be much more difficult than it has to be. When you just want to get into your car and get on your way, you’ll wish you had the heater and defroster checked out before the weather got especially bad.
Don’t get left in the cold this season. Our auto repair center performs a range of services, including necessary tune-ups and inspections to help make it through the rougher seasons. Contact us or call us at 866-242-1277 if you have any questions about the care of your car.
