Don’t Forget to Winterize Your Vehicle

Is your car ready for the Big Chill? Cold weather makes your car work harder, and an inspection now could prevent big problems down the road. Our service department offers a free winterization inspection, so make an appointment today. The main components that should be checked before the cold hits are your fluids, your tires, and your battery.

Before the snow starts flying, it’s important to check your windshield wipers to make sure they’re in good working order. Your windshield wiper fluid level should be full, with a good de-icer. Other fluids, including anti-freeze, should be topped off and/or checked for strength for winter. If you’re due for an oil change, now is the time to schedule one.

During your inspection, we will inspect your tires’ tread depth, to make sure you can keep your grip in any weather. We will also check your tires’ alignment, which will help prevent accelerated wear on your tires. Your tire pressure will be checked as well, since fluctuating temperatures can cause tires to lose pressure.

Did you know that very cold temperatures can reduce your car’s battery power by up to 50%? It’s important to have your battery checked before you end up stranded. If your car has had to be jumped recently, it’s especially crucial to ensure that yours has the juice to keep you going all winter. This is easily determined by a quick battery check.

You can also request an appointment 24/7 online on our mobile-friendly website at chandlerchevroletusa.com. Prefer DIY winterization?
