Recommended Winter Maintenance Services

  • HVAC Inspection: Ensure peak driving comfort and safety this winter with a thorough HVAC inspection, including the heater, defroster, seat, and steering wheel warmers.
  • Tire Inspection: With snow days and slick roads likely this winter, inspect the tires to ensure maximum traction and safety. You might consider switching to a winter tread tire for the best performance.
  • Battery Testing: Batteries in Ohio work in hot summer conditions and sub-zero winter weather, leading to faster integrity decline and risking sluggish engine starting. Winter maintenance should include battery testing and replacement if providing subpar cold-cranking amps or reserve capacity.
  • Brake Inspection: Slippery roads raise the brake system performance stakes, so your vehicle’s winter maintenance should include a four-wheel brake system inspection and service if needed. A thorough brake inspection includes the pads, rotors, fluid, lines, calipers, and hardware.
  • Coolant Fluid/Antifreeze Inspection: You’ll need strong antifreeze at capacity to prevent water from freezing the engine. Be sure to check the antifreeze level and exchange interval. Top it off to capacity and schedule exchange service at the recommended interval.
  • Windshield Wiper Blades and Washer Fluid: Winter weather features snow, ice, and dirty road sludge getting on the windshield. Ensure peak windshield clearing, ice removal, and visibility by checking and replacing old wiper blades. You might consider installing a winter mix washer fluid for maximum ice melting.
  • Roadside Safety Emergency Kit: You always need a roadside safety emergency kit, but winter weather increases risks. Prepare a kit yourself or contact us to order a genuine OEM kit with the essentials from the accessories department.
