As the temperature drops and snowflakes start to fall, it’s time to ask yourself: Is my car prepared for the challenges of winter? Cold weather can be tough on vehicles, but a little proactive maintenance can save you from unexpected breakdowns and ensure your safety on icy roads.
At Stroebel Automotive, we’ve got you covered with our comprehensive pre-winter inspection. Here’s what’s included and why it’s essential:
1. Battery Testing 🔋
Cold weather can drain your car battery’s power, making it harder to start your engine. Our experts will check your battery’s health, ensuring it’s charged and ready to handle freezing temperatures.
2. Coolant Check ❄️
Antifreeze (coolant) prevents your engine from freezing during extreme cold. We’ll ensure your coolant levels are adequate and the mixture is balanced to withstand winter conditions.
3. Belts & Hoses Inspection 🛠️
Freezing temperatures can make rubber components like belts and hoses brittle and prone to cracking. We’ll carefully inspect these parts to catch any wear and tear before it leads to a breakdown.
4. Wiper Blades & Windshield Washer Fluid 🚗
Clear visibility is non-negotiable in winter weather. We’ll check your wiper blades for wear and top off your windshield washer fluid with a winter-grade solution that won’t freeze.
5. Tire Inspection 🛞
Your tires are your first line of defense on icy roads. We’ll inspect their tread depth, pressure, and overall condition to ensure optimal traction. Need winter tires? We can help with that too!
