It's time for winter to start settling in around Norfolk and Gloucester, which means it's time to prepare your vehicle for the cold weather. From ice and snow to freezing temperatures, good preparation and maintenance can help you stay safe this winter. Here are a few winter maintenance services you should have performed on your vehicle near Hampton, Newport News, and Williamsburg.
- Oil Change - Bring your vehicle in for an oil change if it's been more than 3,000 miles since your last one, and make sure that your vehicle gets a thorough inspection to prepare for winter.
- Tire Maintenance - Your tires should have adequate tread for you to be able to drive in snow and ice. You will want to have your tires properly inflated at this time too. If there is any damage to your tires, or they no longer have enough tread, it's time to replace them with ones that will keep you safe on the road. If your tire pressure is continually low in the cold mornings, this is a sign that you have a slow leak in your tires.
- Fluid Checks and Other Maintenance - The fluids throughout your vehicle should be checked and filled as needed. The windshield washer fluid will need to be suitable for the temperatures you experience in your area. The windshield wipers should be in great shape, and replaced if you need them to be. You may need several small repairs to your vehicle before you start driving in tough weather conditions this season.
- Other Winter Maintenance and Preparations - As you prepare your vehicle for winter with all of the maintenance, also pay attention to any debris that is in your vehicle. Give your vehicle a thorough cleaning and change the interior cabin filters. You want the air within your vehicle to be safe, and cleaning out your vehicle is a good start. Your engine air filter should also be changed, and don't forget to keep half a tank of gas in your car at all times.
