Winter is approaching quickly, which means it's time to ask yourself whether your vehicle is properly equipped to take on the inclement weather ahead. To help you drive safely this winter and keep your vehicle performing at the highest level, we want to remind you of a few areas to maintain and pay attention to before the bad weather arrives. Many of these tips can be completed from home, but if you need any assistance, our service center in Long Island is here to help you every step of the way. From checking your battery to changing your wiper blades, we encourage you to check out your vehicle and ensure that everything is performing at the highest level.
Check Your Lights
With winter comes daylight savings, meaning that you're likely to drive more in the dark in the coming months. That's why it's important to check your lights to ensure that they're performing properly. During the winter, between it getting dark earlier and the propensity for snow in the air, you want to make sure that your lights are working correctly and shining as brightly as possible. We both sell and can equip your vehicle with new headlights, taillights, blinkers, and more.
Check Your Battery's Charge
It's more difficult on your battery to operate in the winter compared to the rest of the year. Cold temperatures can render your battery dead overnight if you aren't careful. That's why it's important to check your battery's charge level and change it if need be.
Check and Change Your Tires
Having the properly functioning winter tires is the only way to traverse cold and inclement winter weather with the utmost capability. That's why we encourage you to check the tread on your winter tires and either have them rotate or purchase new winter tires if the front tread is looking low.
