While you may think of warmer weather in San Antonio, TX, the temperatures can get cooler during the winter months, and you want to get your vehicle prepared for the chiller weather. Getting your car serviced for winter can help you ensure that your vehicle is ready to take on frostier temperatures. What do you need to do to your car for winter? We go over some simple tips for winter services here in our blog at Jordan Ford!
How to Prepare Your Car for Winter in San Antonio, TX
What does service for your car for winter in TX mean? Here are some tips to consider when scheduling your winter service.
- Get the vehicles lights inspected – are your car’s headlights dim? Keep an eye on your vehicle’s lights, and if you need replacements, we can replace your car’s lights today.
- Check the car battery – the battery can work harder in the cooler temperatures, so you want to be sure that the battery in your vehicle has the power it needs. We can check the charge of your battery, look for signs of corrosion, and if needed perform a battery replacement.
- Get a brake service – you want to make sure that the brakes are working properly so that your vehicle can come to a stop when you need it to. If you’re driving in slippery conditions, your car needs room to stop so getting the brakes serviced is essential. We will take a look to see if the brake pads are worn, look at the brake fluid, and more.
- Get an oil change – when the temperature drops, fluids can often thicken. It’s important that you have clean oil to lubricate the engine’s quick moving parts. We can check the oil, and perform an oil change with the right oil for your particular vehicle.
- Check the tire pressure – not only can the pressure in tires reduce over time, but with lower temperatures, you may experience further pressure loss in the tires. Keep an eye on the tire pressure and if you notice tire pressure dropping, it may be time for new tires. We will check the pressure in the tires when you come in for service.
- Inspect the windshield wipers – visibility is key during inclement weather and the windshield wipers are a vital part in that. Do the wipers seem stiff? When using them, are they not cleaning the windshield properly? We can install new windshield wipers at our Ford dealership!
