With winter comes cold temperatures, ice, snow, freezing winds, and poor road conditions. During winter, your car can take a beating if it's not ready for the harsh conditions that come with the season. The good news is that while you can't stop the cold weather, you can ensure your vehicle is winter ready.
At Napoli Nissan, we're to help ensure that your car makes it through winter unscathed and performs its best with quality service from our service department. If you're wondering which services are most important during winter, here's our list of the top ten ways to prepare your vehicle for winter.
Check The Oil
Ensure you have fresh oil for winter driving and that the other fluids in your car are at proper levels.
Have Your Battery Tested and Inspected
The last thing you want o happen on a cold winter night in or around (city) is to be stuck in the cold due to a dead battery. Have our service department test your battery to ensure it holds a strong charge and is in good working condition.
Check The Antifreeze
It's good to have your antifreeze replaced before the winter season. When temperatures dip below freezing, it can damage your vehicle's engine if the water freezes. It is also a good idea to make sure your wiper fluid levels are full and filled with freeze-resistant wiper fluid.
Inspect Belts and Hoses
Our service department can inspect your belts and hoses for leaks and cracks to keep the systems in your car operating perfectly all winter long and avoid breakdowns caused by cold weather.
Check Heaters
You want to stay nice and warm while driving in (city), and ensuring that heaters are working correctly is the best way to ensure your car will stay warm during an emergency or long periods out on the road.
Upgrade to Winter Tires
For snowy and icy winter driving, replace your tires with snow or all-season tires for safe driving on icy, wet, or snowy roads.
Stay on top of Tire Pressure.
Proper tire pressure is essential all year long, especially when winter road conditions make driving more hazardous.
Inspect Wiper Blades and Carry a Spare Set
Having our service department inspect your wiper blades and replace worn wiper blades will help keep you safe when driving in snowstorms and other poor visibility weather conditions. It's also smart to carry an extra set of wipers in case of storm or ice damage.
Keep Your Tank Full
Running out of gas while driving during winter can be dangerous and inconvenient. Keeping your gas tank full helps to keep water from freezing and damaging your fuel pump and ensures you'll stay warm in the event of a breakdown.
Keep an Emergency Kit
Keep an emergency kit with flashlights, bottled d water, flares, blankets, and portable power sources for phones.
