Winter is a great time of year, but the cold weather isn’t so great for your vehicle. Colder weather can wreak havoc on your car, and it’s why it’s the busiest time of year for many service centers, including ours. But by preparing your vehicle for winter, you can avoid several pitfalls that many drivers make, so keep reading to find out what you can do to prepare.
Inspect Your Brakes
Your brakes, like every other part of your car, will wear out over time. And during the winter, with icy roads, your brakes must function at their best. So, before the snow falls and ice starts to form, stop by our Rockville service center and let our technicians ensure your brakes are working properly.
Have Your Battery Inspected
Cold weather is no friend to your vehicle’s battery. If left out for too long, it’s easy for your battery to die, even more so if it’s already compromised. So, before the weather turns, we recommend residents of Arlington, Baltimore, and beyond stop by our service center and let our skilled mechanics inspect your battery. Our team will check for potential problems and replace it if necessary. To know if your battery is faulty, check for signs of cracked or swollenness.
Change Your Oil
Oil changes should be performed regularly. However, during the winter changing your oil is even more important, as cold weather can cause your oil to slow and thicken. By visiting our service center before the coming cold, our team can replace your oil with one better suited for the season so you can better travel the streets of Washington, DC.
Schedule a Service Appointment
Winter weather can cause many headaches for Alexandria, VA drivers. That’s why it’s important to prepare your vehicle before winter arrives. And there is no better place to winterize your vehicle than at the Fitzgerald Hyundai service center.
