Winter weather is coming! Here are some tips to get your vehicle prepared to handle the colder temperatures. These preparations will ensure a trouble free vehicle this upcoming season.
Battery
Have you ever noticed that your car is a little more difficult to start after that first cold snap of the season? Thats because in a cold battery the chemical reactions proceed slowly, so a battery used at a low temperature produces less current.
Make sure your vehicles battery is capable of handling the changing weather this season.
Cooling System
Your vehicles cooling system is very important moving into colder temperatures.
Normally when we think of a cooling system, we want to make sure the engine stays cool, but it works the other way too. We want to also make sure that the engine operates in its specified temperature range.
Having a good ratio of coolant to water in your vehicles cooling system can help to make sure the water does not freeze inside of your system. If there is too much water and not enough coolant, all kinds of issues can arise that will cause your vehicle to need repair. If your have any doubts, bring your vehicle in for service to check that the correct type of coolant is being used in your vehicle.
Tires
Tires need to be ready for winter. We don't usually get a lot of snow here in Watkinsville, Ga, but there is a good chance of at least a couple of snowy days.
This time of the year also means travel is a good possibility. Good tread depth on your vehicle's tires will ensure a safe trip to and from. Unsure if you're set to make a long trip? Bring your vehicle in for a complementary safety check prior to setting out on our journey.
