Fall/Winter Service Tips for Your Vehicle
Get Your Winter Tires Put On
Regardless of what kind of vehicle you have or what type of driving you do, it’s crucial to your vehicle’s performance and your safety to have the right tires on during the fall and winter seasons. Even if your vehicle has all-wheel or four-wheel drive, you need winter tires to enjoy a confident driving experience around East Glenville. Winter tires are specifically designed for inclement weather conditions. The rubber that winter tires are made to maintain softness and flexibility in low temperatures, providing you with better traction and control regardless of whether there’s snow or ice on the road. Regular and all season tires will stiffen in cold temperatures, reducing your traction.
Winter tires also have a different tread design than regular or all-season tires. The tread depth is deeper and constructed to push the snow and ice out, so it doesn’t get stuck and prevents your stopping and accelerating ability. There’s also biting edges called sipes on winter tires, allowing the tire to dig into the snow and ice and deliver better grip, helping you maintain control.
Regardless of what vehicle you drive, we can put your snow tires on for you quickly and conveniently. If you don’t have winter tires, we have a large array of options to choose form and can help you choose the ones that fit your specific vehicle’s performance, letting you enjoy better traction, control, stopping, acceleration, and confidence behind the wheel this winter season.
Check and Change Your Battery
As temperatures lower, so does your battery power. It takes more power to start your vehicle in the winter, and if your charge is already low, it could leave you stranded with a dead battery when you have places to be. That’s why we invite you to get your battery tested in our service center. We’ll check the charge and can recharge your battery for you. If need be, we have replacement batteries for all makes and models to ensure that your vehicle is ready to take on any winter temperatures and start every time.
Change Your Windshield Wipers
Although it might sound minor, ensuring that you have the right and properly working windshield wipers is imperative to winter driving. Visibility is key, as you’ll be driving more in the darkness and encountering snow, sleet, rain, and ice as you drive this fall and winter. That’s why we can quickly install winter wipers that keep ice from collecting on your blades and keep your windshield clean and clear from impediments this winter.
